I found my answer. I took the given equation and set it equal to the sum equation.
I then set x and t to zero and solved for ym
That led to
\frac{sin(\frac{\Phi}{2})}{sin(\Phi)}
In this case
\frac{sin(.96)}{sin(1.92)} = ym = .872
Homework Statement
Two sinusoidal waves, identical except for phase, travel in the same direction along a string producing a net wave y'(x, t) = (1.0 mm) sin(18x - 4.0t + 0.960 rad), with x in meters and t in seconds.
(a) What is the wavelength λ of the two waves?
(b) What is the phase...
Found an answer. I don't understand why this is correct, but dividing velocity by position gives the following
v/x = tan-1(\frac{Velocity @ t=0}{Position @ t=0 TIMES Angular Frequency})
So that leaves
tan-1(\frac{-5.6}{2.6 * 1.35}) = -1.01
I think then since it is shifted I...
