    Transverse velocity of a standing wave

    Homework Statement A standing wave pattern on a string is described by y(x, t) = 0.054 sin (9πx)(cos 72πt), where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. For x ≥ 0, what is the location of the node with the (a) smallest, (b) second smallest, and (c) third smallest value of x? (d) What is the...

    How Do You Calculate the Phase Constant φ from a Wave Displacement Graph?

    1. The figure shows the displacement y versus time t of the point on a string at x = 0, as a wave passes through that point. The scale of the x axis is set by ys = 18.0 mm.The wave has form y(x, t) = ym sin (kx - ωt+φ). What is φ...
