Displacement of Transverse Waves HELP!
At time t=0, the displacement of a transverse wave pulse is described by y=2/(x^(4) +1), with both x and y in cm. Write an expression for the wavefunction as a function of position x and time t if it is propagating in the positive x direction at 3.0 cm/s
I'm not sure if this has to do with partial derivatives...and I don't quite understand partial derivatives.
I know that v= 3.0 cm/s...
