b) A sinusoidal wave is described by y(x, t) = 3.0 sin(3.52t − 2.01x) cm. Determine the amplitude, wave number, wavelength, frequency and velocity of the wave.
Introduction In this problem, we are given the equation of a sinusoidal wave in the form: y(x, t) = 3.0 sin(3.52t − 2.01x) (in cm) This standard wave equation allows us to extract different parameters of wave motion like amplitude, wave number, wavelength, angular frequency, and wave speed.
