A sinusoidal wave with an amplitude of 1.5 cm and a frequency of 100 Hz travels at 200 m/s in the positive x-direction. Write the equation for the wave’s displacement as it travels.
The function y(x, t) = A cos(kx - wt) describes a traveling wave on a taut string with the x-axis
parallel to the string.
If the wavelength of the wave λ = 0.8 m and w = 17.1л/s, what is the speed of the traveling wave?
Express your answer in m/s, to at least one digit after the decimal point.
A progressive wave travelling in the x-direction is represented by the following equation:
y = A sin(Bt - Cx).
Given that parameters A, B and C are given in SI units calculate the velocity of the wave for A = 50 , B = 2156 and C = 26.
Give your answer in m/s.
