1. A sinusoidal wave is propagating along a stretched string that lies along the x-axis. The displacement of the string at two points as a function of time are graphed below:
The two particles plotted at the ones located at x = 0.00 m and x = 0.090 m. Additionally, you are told that the wave is traveling in the +x direction.
(a) What is the amplitude of the wave? What is the period of the wave?
(b) You are told that the two points x = 0 and x = 0.0900 m are within one wavelength of each other. Determine the wavelength and the wave speed.
(c) Draw a snapshot graph of the wave at t = 0.
(d) Give an equation of the wave in the form y(x, t) = A cos(kx ± ?t + ?0). That is, find A, k, ? (all three positive quantities, as usual), and ?0 ? [0, 2?), and determine which sign ± is needed.
