Hello:
Whats up guys? I haven't posted here in a little while, and after a long summer I've become a bit rusty on my physics so I am going to need a little help from you guys if possible.
Consider the sin wave of example 13.2 (see below for more info) with the wave function:
y=(15.0cm)cos(0.157x-50.3t)
At a certain instant, let point A be at the origin and point B be the first point along the x-axis where the wave is 60.0 degrees out of phase with point A. What is the coordinate of point B?
In example 13.2 the wave is characterized by:
Amplitude=15.0cm
Wavelength=40.0cm
Frequency=8.00Hz
k=2pi/lamda
T=1/F
omega=2pi*f
v=f*lamda
i really think I am overthinking this problem, if the wave is pi/3 radians out of phase, wouldn't that be our phase constant? and from there, how would i turn a function of y(x,t) into y(x) by holding t constant? like how would the equation I've written be changed so i can find the proper coordinate?
