In Fig 16-46, a sinusoidal wave moving along a string is shown twice as crest A travels in the positive direction of any x axis by distance d=6.0 cm in 3.0 ms. The tick marks along the axis are separated by 10cm, height H=6.00MM. The equation for the wave is in the form y(x,t) =`y_(m) sin (kx pm omegat)`. so what are (a) `y_(m), (b) k, (c) omega` and (d) the correct choice of sign in front of `omega?`

Answer

(a) 3.0 mm; (b) 16 rad/m; (c) `3.2 xx 10^(2)` rad/s; (d) minus sign
