Write an expression for a harmonic wave with an amplitude of 0.19 m, a wavelength of 2.6 m, and a period of 1.2 s. The wave is transverse, travels to the right, and has a displacement of 0.19 m at t = 0 and x = 0.

Answer:

[tex]y = 0.19 sin(5.23 t - 2.42x + \frac{\pi}{2})[/tex]

Explanation:

As we know that the wave equation is given as

[tex]y = A sin(\omega t - k x + \phi_0)[/tex]

now we have

[tex]A = 0.19 m[/tex]

[tex]\lambda = 2.6 m[/tex]

so we have

[tex]k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{2\pi}{2.6}[/tex]

[tex]k = 2.42  per m[/tex]

also we have

[tex]T = 1.2 s[/tex]

so we have

[tex]\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}[/tex]

[tex]\omega = \frac{2\pi}{1.2}[/tex]

[tex]\omega = 5.23 rad/s[/tex]

now we know that at t = 0 and x = 0 wave is at y = 0.19 m

so we have

[tex]\phi_0 = \frac{\pi}{2}[/tex]

so we have

[tex]y = 0.19 sin(5.23 t - 2.42x + \frac{\pi}{2})[/tex]
