$A$ transverse sinusoidal wave of amplitude '$a$',wavelength $\lambda$,and frequency $f$ is travelling on a stretched string. The maximum speed at any point on the string is $v/10$,where $v$ is the speed of propagation of the wave. If $a = 10^{-3} \ m$ and $v = 10 \ ms^{-1}$,then $\lambda$ and $f$ are given by:

The displacement of a wave travelling in the $x$ direction is $y = 10^{-4} \sin(600t - 2x + \pi/3) \text{ m}$,where $x$ is in metres and $t$ is in seconds. The speed of the wave is: (in $\text{ m/s}$)

Write the equation of the relation between wave speed $(v)$,angular frequency $(\omega)$,and angular wave number $(k)$.

$A$ traveling wave is described by the equation $y(x,t) = [0.05 \sin(8x - 4t)] \text{ m}$. The velocity of the wave is (All the quantities are in $SI$ units). (in $\text{ m/s}$)

$A$ transverse wave is represented by $y = \frac{10}{\pi} \sin \left( \frac{2\pi}{T}t - \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}x \right)$. For what value of the wavelength is the wave velocity twice the maximum particle velocity (in $cm$)?
