To determine the initial phase \( \phi \) of the wave described by the equation \( y = A \sin(kx - \omega t + \phi) \), we follow these steps: ### Step 1: Substitute Initial Conditions We know that at \( x = 0 \) and \( t = 0 \), the disturbance \( y \) is given as \( \frac{A}{2} \). Substituting these values into the wave equation gives us: \[ y = A \sin(k \cdot 0 - \omega \cdot 0 + \phi) = A \sin(\phi) \] Thus, we have: ...
