$A$ sound wave of frequency $500 \text{ Hz}$ travels between two points $X$ and $Y$ separated by a distance of $600 \text{ m}$ in a time of $2 \text{ s}$. The number of waves between the points $X$ and $Y$ are

The diagram shows a snapshot of a wave at time $t = 0$. The particle at $x = x_1$ is moving upward at that instant. The direction of propagation of the wave is:

For a wave equation given by $y = 2 \sin \pi (0.5x - 200t) \, cm$,what is the wave velocity in $cm/sec$?
