Problem

Two sinusoidal waves travelling in opposite directions interfere to produce a standing wave described by the equation y=(1.5 m)sin⁡(0.400x)cos⁡(200t)y = (1.5 \text{ m}) \sin(0.400 x) \cos(200 t) where xx is in metres and tt is in seconds. Determine the wavelength, frequency and speed of the interfering waves.
