A sine wave is travelling on a stretched string as shown in figure. The end A of the string has a small light ring which can slide on a smooth rod. The wave reaches A at time `t = 0`.

(i) Write the slope of the string at point A as function of time.
(ii) If the incoming wave has amplitude a, with what amplitude will the end A oscillate?
