Determine the frequency, period and wave number of these waves. b. Write a wave function describing the wave. c. Determine the transverse displacement of a particle at x = 360 mm and at time t = 0.150 s. d. How much time must elapse from the instant in part (c) until the particle at x = 360 mm next has a zero displacement?

2a. There are two different speeds to consider in traveling waves. The first is the speed of the particles that make up the medium through which the wave travels. In most cases, these particles oscillate back and forth about an equilibrium position like a mass on a spring. However, this is NOT what we mean by the speed of a wave or wave speed. The wayeszeed, or speed of propagation, is generally determined by the properties of the medium but for all waves traveling through any medium it can be written as v = ? (words and symbols) 2b.
