Two sinusoidal waves traveling in opposite directions interfere to produce a standing wave with the wave function y = 1.50 sin (0.400x) cos (200t) where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. Determine (a) the wavelength, (b) the frequency, and (c) the speed of the interfering waves. 15. (a) 15.7 m (b) 31.8 Hz (c) 500 m/s 19. A string that is 30.0 cm long and has a mass per unit length of 9.00 x 10-3 kg/m is stretched to a tension of 20.0 N.
