Given the wave equation y(x,t) =2.0 Sin (3.0x-4.0t + π/2)m, where x is in meter and t is in second. Find the:
a) amplitude
b)Frequency
c) wavelength
d)speed
e) initial height at x=1.0m
The general equation of wave is:
where is the wave number ( is the wavelength), is the angular frequency ( is the frequency), is the amlitude, and is the initial phase.
Comparing the general equation with the given one, find:
Speed of the wave is given as:
Substituting , , find:
Answer. a) 2m, b) 0.64Hz, c) 2.09m, d) 1.33 m/s, e) 0.16m
