The transverse displacement of a string ...

The transverse displacement of a string (clamped at its two ends ) is given by
`y(x,t)=0.06sin((2pi)/(3))xcos(120pit)`
wherer x ,y are in m and t ini s. The length of the string is 1.5m and its mass is `3xx10^(-2)` kg. Answer the following: (i) Does the function represent a travelling or a stationary wave ?
(ii) Interpret the wave as a superimposition of two waves travelling in opposite directions. What are the wavelength, frequency and speed of propagation of each wave ?
(iii) Determing the tension in the string.
