The transverse displacement of an harmonic wave on a stretched rope is y = 0.04 cos(2.5 x - 5 t), where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds.
a) What is the amplitude of this wave?
A = m *
.04 OK
b) What is the wavelength of this wave?
c) What is the speed with which this wave travels?
d) In what direction is this wave propagating?
+x
e) What is the frequency (NOT the angular frequency) of this wave?
f = s-1
First off i need to find the wavelength. i am not sure where to start. in terms of the equation they gave me, idk how i can use that becuase it has 3 variables in stead of 2 so i can't plot it to figure out the wave length.. any ideas?
