need help fastWaves: the amount of time for a particle to move a distance on a string
The speed of a transverse wave on a string is 408 m/s, while the wavelength is 0.220 m. The amplitude of the wave is 2.62 mm. How much time is required for a particle of the string to move through a total distance of 1.00 km?
y = A sin (2pif*t + (2pix/wavelength)
i used the velocity and wavelength to find the frequency but than couldn't take the problem any further
