Homework Statement
y(x,t) = 3e-(2x-4t)^2
Consider the wave function which represents a transverse pulse that travels on a string along the horizontal x-axis.
a) Find the wave speed
b) Find the velocity of the string at x=0 as a function of time
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I think, for b) I should take the derivative of the original wave function with respect to t.
Easy if that's the case.
I have no idea about part a.
