15.22 A travelling harmonic wave on a string is described by

y(x, t) = 7.5 sin (0.0050x +12t + π /4)

(a) What are the displacement and velocity of oscillation of a point at x = 1 cm, and t = 1 s? Is this velocity equal to the velocity of wave propagation?

 

(b) Locate the points of the string which have the same transverse displacements and velocity as the x = 1 cm point at t = 2 s, 5 s and 11 s.

(a) The given harmonic wave is

y(x, t) = 7.5 sin (0.0050x +12t + π /4)

For x = 1 cm and t = 1 s

y(1, 1) = 7.5 sin (0.0050 +12+ π /4)

= 7.5 sin( 12.0050 + π4 )

= 7.5 sin (12.0050 + 0.7854)

= 7.5 sin (732.84 ° )

= 7.5 sin (90 *8+ 12.81) °

= 7.5 sin 12.81 °

=1.6629 cm

The velocity of the oscillation at a given point and t
