A harmonic wave on a string is given as =15sin /160
where x and y are in cm and t in s.
(a) Find the amplitude, wavelength, angular wave number, angular frequency, period, speed, direction of propagation.
(b) Where are the crests of the wave at the time t =0 s?
(c) Where are the crests of the wave at the time t =1/16 s?
(d) Show that the point at x =0 moves in a SHM.
(e) What is the phase difference between the points at x =0 and x =10 cm?
(f) What is the transverse velocity of the point at x =0 at times t =0 s and time t =1/16 s?
