Question:

A sinusoidal transverse wave of wavelength 20 cm travels along a string in the positive direction of an x axis. The displacement y of the string particle at x = 0 is given in Figure as a function of time /. The scale of the vertical axis is set by ys = 4.0 cm. The wave equation is to be in the form y(x, t) = ym sin (kx + wt + ?).(a) At t = 0, is a plot of y versus x in the shape of a positive sine function or a negative sine function? What are?(b) ym(c) k,(d) w,(e) ?,(f) The sign in front of a, and(g) The speed of the wave?(h) What is the transverse velocity of the particle at x = 0 when t = 5.0 s?image
