The equation of a wave travelling on a string is y=(0.10 mm)sin⁡[(31.4 m−1)x+(314 s−1)t]y = (0.10 \text{ mm}) \sin[(31.4 \text{ m}^{-1})x + (314 \text{ s}^{-1})t] (a) In which direction does the wave travel? (b) Find the wave speed, the wavelength and the frequency of the wave. (c) What is the maximum displacement and the maximum speed of a portion of the string?
