The transverse position of an element of the medium at t=0, x-0 has maximum displacement ofy%320 cm and is moving downward. (a) Find the wave number, period, angular frequency and the wave speed. (b) Write the wave function y(x) describing the wave. (c) Calculate the maximum transverse velocity of the particle at x = 0 end of the string.
