The displacement of a particle is given by $y = 5 \times 10^{-4} \sin(100t - 50x)$,where $x$ is in meters and $t$ is in seconds. Find the velocity of the wave in $m/s$.

Waves having a velocity $10 \text{ m/s}$ strike a stationary boat near the sea shore. The distance between two consecutive crests of the waves is $40 \text{ m}$. After how many seconds do the consecutive waves strike the boat (in $\text{ s}$)?

What is the ratio of the amplitudes of the waves $y_1 = 10 \sin(3\pi t + \frac{\pi}{3})$ and $y_2 = 5[\sin 3\pi t + \sqrt{3} \cos 3\pi t]$?

The equation of a sound wave is $y = 0.0015 \sin (62.4 x + 316 t)$. Find the wavelength of this wave.

$A$ progressive sound wave is represented by $y = a \sin(400\pi t - \pi x / 6.85)$,where $x$ is in $m$ and $t$ is in $s$. The frequency of the wave is .... $Hz$.

The displacement due to a wave moving in the positive $x$-direction is given by $y = \frac{1}{(1 + x^2)}$ at time $t = 0$ and by $y = \frac{1}{[1 + (x - 1)^2]}$ at $t = 2$ seconds,where $x$ and $y$ are in metres. The velocity of the wave in $m/s$ is
