A sinusoidal transverse wave traveling in the positive direction of an x axis has an amplitude of 2.0 cm, a wavelength of 10 cm, and a frequency of 400 Hz. If the wave equation is of the form y(x, t) = ym sin(kx +-vt), what are (a) ym, (b) k, (c) v, and (d) the correct choice of sign in front of v? What are (e) the maximum transverse speed of a point on the cord and (f) the speed of the wave?

Seiche
A seiche is an oscillating standing wave in a body of water. The term seiche pronounced saysh) can be understood by the sloshing of water back and forth in a swimming pool. The same phenomenon happens on a much larger scale in vast bodies of water including bays and lakes. A seizure can happen in any enclosed or semi-enclosed body of water.
