A wave of amplitude 0.03 m and wavelength 0.40 m travels at 2.0 m s⁻¹ in the positive x-direction. At x = 0 and t = 0, the particle is at equilibrium and moving toward positive y. Which equation represents it?
- A. y = 0.03 sin(5πx − 10πt)
- B. y = 0.03 sin(5πx + 10πt)
- C. y = 0.03 sin(10πt − 5πx)
- D. y = 0.03 sin(10πt − 2.5πx)
