Question:
A swimmer in the ocean observes one day that the ocean surface waves are periodic and resemble a sine wave. The swimmer estimates that the vertical distance between the crest and the trough of each wave is approximately m and the distance between each crest is approximately m The swimmer counts that waves pass every two minutes. Determine the simple harmonic wave function that would describes these waves. Use the following as necessary: x and t where the wave propagates in the xdirection. Assume the height y is in meters, x is in meters, t is in seconds, and the phase is zero. Do not include units in your answer.
