To solve the problem, we need to find the expression for the wave function \( y(x, t) \) at three different times: \( t = 0 \), \( t = 1.0 \, \text{s} \), and \( t = 2.0 \, \text{s} \). The wave function is given as: \[ y(x, t) = \frac{2}{(x - 3.0t)^2 + 1} \] ### Step 1: Calculate the wave function at \( t = 0 \) ...
