A simple harmonic transverse wave is propagating along a string toward the left (or – x) direction. Shown to the right is a plot of the displacement as a function of position at time t = 0 s. The string tension is 3.6 N, and its linear mass density is 25 g/m.
(a) What is the amplitude?
(b) What is the wavelength?
(c) What is the period?
(d) What is the wave speed?
(e) What is the maximum speed of a particle in the string?
(f) Write an equation describing the traveling wave.
