1. “The profile of a transverse harmonic wave, traveling at 1.2 m s^-1 is given by y(x)=(0.02 m)sin[157 rad m^-1)x]. Determine amplitude, wavelength, frequency, angular frequency, and period.
y(x,t)=Acos(kx-wt)[/B]
I attempted to change it to a cosine function but I’m still left with a position equation as opposed to a displacement equation. I’m not sure what steps to take to get the equation into the form above.
