The transverse displacement of a string (clamped at its two ends ) is given by  `y(x,t)=0.06sin((2pi)/(3))xcos(120pit)`  wherer x ,y are in m and t ini s. The length of the string is 1.5m and its mass is `3xx10^(-2)` kg. Answer the following: (i) Does the function represent a travelling  or a stationary wave ?  (ii) Interpret the wave as a superimposition of  two waves travelling in opposite directions. What are the wavelength, frequency and speed of propagation of each wave ?  (iii) Determing the tension in the string.
