A wave in a string has an amplitude of 2cm. The wave travels in the +ve direction of x axis with a speed of 128 ms-1 and it is noted that 5 complete waves fit in 4 m length of the string. The equation describing the wave is:
y = (0.02)m sin (7.85 x + 1005t)
y = (0.02)m sin (15.7 x - 2010t)
y = (0.02)m sin (15.7 x + 2010t)
y = (0.02)m sin(7.85 x - 1005t)
