A wave propagates on a string in the positive x-direction at a velocity υ. The shape of the string at t = t0 is given by g(x, t0) = A sin(x/a). Write the wave equation for a general time t.

The general equation: Y = A sin(x/λ - t/T) Here λ = a and T = a/v Y = A sin(x/a - vt/a) => A sin(x/a) = A sin(x/a + vt0/a) To sustain... View Article

A wave pulse is travelling on a string with a speed υ toward the position X-axis. The shape of the string at t = 0 is given by g(x) = A sin (x/a), where A and a are constants.

(a) What are the dimensions of A and a? (b) Write the equation of the wave for a general time t, if the wave speed is υ.Solution: (a) dimensions... View Article

The displacement of the particle at x = 0 of a stretched string carrying a wave in the positive x-direction is given by f(t) = A sin(t/T). The wave speed is υ. Write the wave equation.

Solution: AT x = 0, f(t) = a sin(t/T)=> wavelength = λ = vTSo, general equation of wave,Y = A sin((t/T) - (x/vT))... View Article

A wave pulse passing on a string with a speed of 40 cm s⁻¹ in the negative x-direction has its maximum at x = 0 at t = 0. Where will this maximum be located at t = 5 s?
