Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).

Question

• A sinusoidal wave is propagating along a stretched string that lies along the x-axis.
The displacement of the string as a function of time is graphed in Fig. E15.11º for

is the period of the wave? (c) You are told that the two points x =
O and x = 0.0900 m

determine the wavelength and the wave speed. (d) If instead the wave is moving in
the –x-direction, determine the wavelength and the wave speed. (e) Would it be
possible to determine definitively the wavelengths in parts (c) and (d) if you were not
told that the two points were within one wavelength of each other? Why or why not?
