Wave forumla: y(x,t) = Asin(kx-wt)
[] Which variables (x, t, A, k, w) are independent?
Would k be the only independent variable since it is a constant?
However I am not too sure what exactly does the k represents.
Can someone please clear that up for me?
[] Which of the following are parameters that determine the characteristics of the wave? x only, t only, A only, k only, w only, x and t, w and t, A and k and w.
Would A and k and w determine th characteristics of the wave?
I know that A is the amplitude of the wave and w is the angular frequency
of the wave so those 2 has to be characteristics of the wave.
[] What is the phase of the wave?
That would be (kx-wt) right?
[] What is the wavelength of the wave?
Would that be 2pi/k?
[] What is the period of this wave?
Would that be 2pi/w?
[] How do I find the speed of propagation v of this wave?
Thank you for your help.
