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

$A$ transverse wave is described by the equation $y = y_0 \sin 2 \pi \left( \nu t - \frac{x}{\lambda} \right)$. The maximum particle velocity is equal to four times the wave velocity if $\lambda =$
