Question: A transverse wave on a string is described by the wave function y = y 0 sin ( kx + t ) y = y

A transverse wave on a string is described by the wave function y=y0sin(kx+t)y=y0sin(kx+t), where y0=0.103y0=0.103m, k=0.338k=0.338m11, and =11.7=11.7s11. At time t=0.200t=0.200s and string position x=1.6x=1.6m, determine the following quantities:
(a)
Wavelength.
m (0.2 m)
(b)
Wavenumber (angular).
m11(0.002 m11)
(c)

s (0.002 s)
(e)
Wave velocity (magnitude and sign).
m/s (0.2 m/s)
(f)
Transverse string position (magnitude and sign).
m (0.002 m)
(g)
Peak transverse string position (magnitude).
m (0.002 m)
(h)
Average transverse string position (magnitude).
m (0.002 m)
(i)
