question 10

Essay

Mathematics of traveling waves: The vertical displacement y(x,t) of a string stretched along the horizontal x-axis is given by y(x,t) = (6.00 mm) cos[(3.25 m-1)x - (7.22 rad/s)t].
(a) What is the minimum time for each complete cycle of the wave?
(b) What is the distance between adjacent crests of the wave?
(c) How fast does this wave travel
