The equation of a transverse wave traveling along a very long string is given by y = 5.2 sin(0.013π|x + 4.7π|t), where x and y are expressed in centimeters and t is in seconds.

(a) Determine the amplitude.

(b) Determine the wavelength.

(c) Determine the frequency.

(d) Determine the speed.

(e) Determine the direction of propagation of the wave.

(f) Determine the maximum transverse speed of a particle in the string.

typo? - Damon, Saturday, December 3, 2011 at 8:52pm
typo I think.
not
sin(0.013π|x + 4.7π|t)

Please be more careful and recheck what you submit. I suspect a typo in that one that had (3 seconds - 1)t
