Question:

Refer to the wave in the string described in Exercise 37 of Section 10.3. For a point on the string, the displacement y is given by 


We see that each point on the string moves with simple harmonic motion. Sketch two cycles of y as a function of t for the given values

A = 0.350 in., T = 0.250 s, λ = 24.0 in., x = 20.0 in.


Data from Exercise 37 of Section 10.3.

A wave traveling in a string may be represented by the equation


Here, A is the amplitude, t is the time the wave has traveled, x is the distance from the origin, T is the time required for the wave to travel one wavelength λ (the Greek letter lambda). Sketch three cycles of the wave for which A = 2.00 cm, T = 0.100 s, λ = 20.0 cm, and x = 5.00 cm.
