A sinusoidal wave is traveling on a string with speed 10.00 cm/s. The displacement of the particles of the string at x = 20 cm is found to vary with time according to the equation y = (5.0 cm) sin[16.0 - (8.0 s-1)t]. The linear density of the string is 7.0 g/cm.
(a) What is the frequency of the wave?
s-1
(b) What is the wavelength of the wave?
cm
(c) Give the general equation giving the transverse displacement of the particles of the string as a function of position and time.
y(x,t) = (5.0 cm) sin[( cm-1)x - ( s-1)t]
(d) Calculate the tension in the string.
