Sinusoidal wave function of t and x

In summary, the conversation discusses characterizing a sinusoidal wave in terms of time and movement along the x direction. The amplitude, angular velocity, and frequency of the wave are all linked together, with the wave number and movement along x also being related. The conversation also mentions describing the disturbance from equilibrium for a single particle in a medium, as well as the shape of a string made up of particles at a certain time or as time evolves.

TL;DR Summary
Starting from the domain of t, is it possible to express the sinef function under the domain of movement?
Greetings,

is it possible to characterize a sinusoidal wave in the domain of time and then pass into the domain of movement along x direction?
I start with: a is the amplitude of the sine function and ω is the angular velocity. t is the time. I can express the angular velocity in funct. of the frequency n. In turn, n is velocity of the wave valong x divided its wavelength. Now, 2 pi over lambda is the wave number k and vt is the movement along x.
Does my derivation make sense to you?

Are you trying to describe the disturbance ##y## from equilibrium
  • for a single particle located at ##x=X_P## in a medium as time evolves? ##y(X_P,t)##
  • for the shape of a string (made up of a string of particles) at a certain time ##T_0## ? ##y(x,t=T_0)##
  • for the shape of a string (made up of a string of particles) as time evolves? ##y(x,t)##

not exactly a disturbance from equilibrium but rather the description of the sine wave evolution i nthe two domains.
