Question
Consider the waves represented by the following functions.
(a) y = 4 sin (3x ? 15t)
(b) y = 6 cos (3x + 15t ? 2)
(c) y = 8 sin (2x + 15t)
(d) y = 8 cos (4x + 20t)
(e) y = 7 sin (6x ? 24t)
Rank the waves represented by the above functions from the largest to the smallest according to the following conditions. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any spaces or parenthesis around the letters or symbols.)
(i) their amplitudes
(ii) their wavelengths
(iii) their frequencies
(iv) their periods
(v) their speeds
Explanation / Answer
i) c=d>e>b>a
ii) c>a=b>d>e
iii) e>d>a=b=c
iv) a=b=c>d>e
v) c>a=b=d>e
