A transverse harmonic wave on a string is described by `y(x,t)=3.0sin(36t+0.018x+pi//4)` where x, y are in cm, t in second. The positive direction of x is from left to right . (i) Is this a travelling or stationary wave ? If travellying, what are the speed and direction of its propagation ? (ii) what are its amplitude and frequency ? (iii) what is the inital phase at the origing ? (iv) What is the least distance between two successive creests in the wave?
