Answer:

(a) The speed of the wave, v is 4.2 m/s

(b) Wavelength of the wave, λ is 0.35 m

(c) mathematical expression of the wave, Y = 0.036sin(5.71πx - 24πt)

Explanation:

Given;

tension on the string, T = 15 N

Linear density, μ = 0.85 kg/m

amplitude of the wave, A = 3.6 cm = 0.036 m

frequency of the wave, f = 12 Hz

(a) The speed of the wave, v is calculated as;

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{15}{0.85} }\\\\v = 4.2 \ m/s

(b) Wavelength of the wave, λ

v = fλ

λ = v / f

λ = 4.2 / 12

λ = 0.35 m

(c) mathematical expression of the wave;

Y = Asin(\frac{2\pi x}{\lambda} -\omega t)\\\\Y = Asin(\frac{2\pi x}{\lambda} -2\pi f t)\\\\Y = 0.036sin (\frac{2\pi }{0.35}x -2\pi *12 t)\\\\Y = 0.036sin (5.71 \pi x - 24 \pi t)
