The amplitude of a wave disturbance propagating in the positive $X-$ direction is given by $y = 1/(1 + x^2)$ at time $t = 0$ and by $y = 1/[1 + (x - 1)^2]$ at $t = 2$ seconds,where $x$ and $y$ are in meters. The shape of the wave disturbance does not change during the propagation. The velocity of the wave is ..... $ms^{-1}$.
