16.6 Exercise 6

Avg difficulty 2.5

Consider a standing wave modeled as y(x,t)=4.00cmsin(3m−1x)cos(4s−1t).y \left(x , t\right) = 4.00 \text{cm} \text{sin} \left(3 \text{m}^{−1} x\right) \text{cos} \left(4 \text{s}^{−1} t\right) . Is there a node or an antinode at x=0.00m?x = 0.00 \text{m} ? What about a standing wave modeled as y(x,t)=4.00cmsin(3m−1x+π2)cos(4s−1t)?y \left(x , t\right) = 4.00 \text{cm} \text{sin} \left(3 \text{m}^{−1} x + \frac{\pi}{2}\right) \text{cos} \left(4 \text{s}^{−1} t\right) ? Is there a node or an antinode at the x=0.00mx = 0.00 \text{m} position?
