17.1 Exercise 4

Avg difficulty 2.5

Consider a sound wave modeled with the equations(x,t)=4.00nms \left(x , t\right) = 4.00 \text{nm}
cos(3.66m−1x−1256s−1t).\text{cos} \left(3.66 \text{m}^{−1} x - 1256 \text{s}^{−1} t\right) . What is the maximum displacement, the wavelength, the frequency, and the speed of the sound wave?
