A uniform plane wave has the generic expression
Φ(z,t) = A cos(ωt – kz + δ)
with the following given parameter values: wave amplitude = 10, wave frequency in Hz f = 500 Hz, phase velocity vph = 10 m/s, and the phase angle δ = 60o. Find the values of the parameters A, ω, and k.
..
The provided image shows vibrations from a car idle at 33 Hz. The fourier transform of the data is shown in the bottom plot. Are the following statements true or false?
A fourier series that would represent the vibrational data would contain two frequences of 15 Hz and 30 Hz.
This data has a vibrational noise at a fundamental frequency of 15 Hz as well as the three overtones to this fundamental.
The oscillations seen in the data are due to the vibrational noise at 15 Hz and 30 Hz.

that its velocity is velocity v = **
f(r,t) = C = cos(kr - wt)
The wave fronts are spherical shells at radius r that propagate outward from the origin; the
