Two sinusoidal waves with the same amplitude of 9.03 mm and the same wavelength travel together along a string that is stretched along an x axis. Their resultant wave is shown twice in the figure, as valley A travels in the negative direction of the x axis by distance d = 59.0 cm in 12.0 ms. The tick marks along the axis are separated by 11 cm, and height H is 8.1 mm. Let the equation for one wave be of the form y(x, t) = Ym sin(kx ± wt + ¢1), where o1 = 0 and you must choose the correct sign in front of w. For the equation for the other wave, what are (a) ym, (b) k, (c) w, (d) $2, and (e) the sign in front of w? %3D H
