Q-2. A transverse sinusoidal wave is moving along a string in the positive direction of an x axis with a speed of 80 m/s. At t= 0, the string particle at x = 0 has a transverse displacement of 4.0 cm from its equilibrium position and is not moving. The maximum transverse speed of the string particle at x = 0 is 16 m/s. (a) What is the frequency of the wave? (b) What is the wavelength of the wave? If y(x,t) = ym sin(kx ± wt + Ø) is the form of the wave equation, what are (c) ym, (d) k, (e) w, (f) Ø, and (g) the correct choice of sign in front of w?
