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 = 0.61 m and w = 18.9π/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 standing wave is the result of superposition of two harmonic waves given by the equations y1(x;t) =Asin(ωt - kx) and y2(x; t) = Asin(ωt + kx). The angular frequency is ω = 3π rad/s and the k = 2πrad/m is the wave number.(a) Give an expression for the amplitude of standing wave.
