For a stationary wave represented by the equation $y = 0.15 \sin(5x) \cos(300t) \, \text{m}$,what is the wavelength of the wave (in $, \text{m}$)?

Explain the reflection of a wave at a free support.

One end of a taut string of length $3 \ m$ along the $x$-axis is fixed at $x=0$. The speed of the waves in the string is $100 \ m/s$. The other end of the string is vibrating in the $y$-direction so that stationary waves are set up in the string. The possible waveform$(s)$ of these stationary waves is (are):
$(A)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{\pi x}{6} \cos \frac{50 \pi t}{3}$
$(B)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{\pi x}{3} \cos \frac{100 \pi t}{3}$
$(C)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{5 \pi x}{6} \cos \frac{250 \pi t}{3}$
$(D)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{5 \pi x}{2} \cos 250 \pi t$

Consider the three waves $z_1, z_2$ and $z_3$ as $z_1 = A \sin(kx - \omega t)$,$z_2 = A \sin(kx + \omega t)$ and $z_3 = A \sin(ky - \omega t)$. Which of the following represents a standing wave?

The displacement of a string is given by,
$y(x, t) = 10 \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{3} x\right) \cos (120 \pi t)$

Select the correct statement$(s)$ below:
$(A)$ It represents a progressive wave of frequency $60 \ Hz$.
$(B)$ It represents a standing wave of frequency $60 \ Hz$.
$(C)$ It is the result of two waves of wavelength $3 \ m$,frequency $60 \ Hz$ each travelling with a speed of $180 \ m/s$ in opposite directions.
$(D)$ Reflection occurs from a free end.
