Homework Statement
Hi everyone. I am working on a physics research paper on Standing Wave Patterns and the physics of a viola. I found this formula for standing wave patterns and am having trouble making sense of it. When I tried, I got sin(0) which is 0 making the whole thing 0. Is this a valid equation and am I missing something?
w = 2764
t = (1/440)
k = 2pi/wavelength
x = distance traveled.
I am sorry, but I am really confuesed
Homework Equations
y = 2yocos(wt)sin(Kx)
The Attempt at a Solution
2yo (2764)(1/440) = 2p1
cos 2 pi = 1
sin (0) = 0
= Ahh!
I may be using the variables wrong, but I used 2pi * frequency to get w, 1/frequency to get t
