Obtain the relation between wave velocity,angular frequency,and angular wave number.

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

$A$ body sends a wave $150 \text{ mm}$ long through medium $P$ and $0.30 \text{ m}$ long in medium $Q$. If velocity of the wave in medium $P$ is $80 \text{ cm s}^{-1}$, the velocity of wave in medium $Q$ is (in $\text{ m s}^{-1}$)

If the wave equation is $y = 0.08 \sin \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} (200t - x)$,then the velocity of the wave will be:
