Given the transverse equation on water: y(x,t) = (0.502 m) cos (0.00450 m^-1 +6.28 s^-1 t) (a) what is amplitude, wave number, angular frequency, wavelength, and natural frequency? (b) what is the speed of the wave? where is the wave moving? (ex. x, y, or z? positive or negative?) (c) what is the direction of the oscillation of the water volume? (ex. x,y,z?)
