A transverse harmonic wave on a string is decribed by y(x,t) = 3.0 sin (36 t + 0.018x + pi//4) Where x and y are in cm and t in s . The positive direction of x is from left to right. (a) Is this a travelling wave or a stationary wave ? If it is travelling, what are the speed and direction of its propagation ? (b) What are its amplitude and frequency ?
