A wave travels along the positive x-direction.
Wave amplitude (A) = 0.20 cm
Wavelength (λ) = 20 cm
Wave speed (v) = 20 m/s
(a) General wave equation along the x-axis:
Wave equation:
(b) As per the question
For the wave equation ,we need to find the displacement and velocity at x = 2 cm and t = 0.
If the wave equation is written in a different fashion, then also we will get the same values for these quantities.
