If $\vec{u}$ is the instantaneous velocity of a particle and $\vec{v}$ is the velocity of the wave,then:

$A$ plane progressive wave is represented by the equation $y = 0.1 \sin \left( 200\pi t - \frac{20\pi x}{17} \right)$,where $y$ is displacement in $m$,$t$ is in seconds,and $x$ is the distance from a fixed origin in meters. The frequency,wavelength,and speed of the wave respectively are:

The equation of the wave is $Y = 10 \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi t}{30} + \alpha\right)$. If the displacement is $5 \text{ cm}$ at $t = 0$,then the total phase at $t = 7.5 \text{ s}$ will be (Given: $\sin 30^{\circ} = 0.5$)
