A single particle in a transverse traveling wave undergoes
simple harmonic motion given by y(t) = (4.20 cm)cos(2.10t). The
wave travels to the left with a speed of 1.30 cm/s. a) Write an
equation for this traveling wave, y(x, t) assuming y (0, 0) = 0. b)
Find the transverse velocity as a function of time for a particle
located at 3.10 cm. c) Find the transverse velocity as a function
of time for a particle located at 5.10 cm d) Compare your two
answers above and comment on why they are different and what this
means physically
