After tying one end of a rope to a stationary object you flick the free end so as to cause a sinusoidal standing wave that has a maximum displacement of 0.5 m and a wavelength of 1.33 m. Write the time dependent wave function in terms of the wave speed.

Step 1
5 m and the wavelength λ is 1.33 m. We are not given the period T or the phase constant φ, but we can write the wave function in terms of the wave speed v (which is equal to λ/T). Show more…

A sinusoidal wave travels along a string. The time for a particular point to move from maximum displacement to zero is 0.170 s. What are the (a) period and (b) frequency? (c) The wavelength is 1.40 $\mathrm{m}$ ; what is the wave speed?
A long rope is held taut and sinusoidal waves created that propagate with a speed of 12 m/s. The amplitude of the waves is 0.075 m and the frequency is 2 Hz. At time t=0, the end of the rope has maximum positive transverse displacement and is instantaneously at rest. (i) Find the angular frequency, period, wavelength and wave-number of the wave (ii) Write down a wave function describing the wave (iii) Write down an equation for the transverse displacement as a function of time at the end of the rope. (iv) Write down an equation for the transverse displacement as a function of time at a point 1m from the end of the rope. (v) Write down an expression which describes the transverse velocity as a function of time at the end of the rope.
