Equation of Traveling Waves: The vertical displacement y(x,t) of a horizontal string aligned along the x-axis is given by the equation y(x,t) = (6.00 mm) cos[(3.25 m-1)x - (7.22 s-1)t]. What are the (a) speed and (b) amplitude of this wave?

What will be an ideal response?


(a) 2.22 m/s (b) 6.00 mm
