Chapter 17 - 17.8
8. (a) The figure in the book makes it clear that the period is T = 10 s and the amplitude is y m =4 . 0cm.
The phase constant φ is more subtly determined by that figure: what is shown is 4 sin ωt ,yet what
follows from Eq. 17-2 (without the phase constant) should be 4 sin(
ωt )at x = 0. Thus,we need
ωt + π ) = 4 sin( ωt )). Therefore,we use Eq. 17-2 (modified
by the inclusion of φ )with k =2 π/λ = π/ 10 (in inverse centimeters) and ω =2 π/T = π/ 5(in
inverse seconds). In the graph below we plot the equation for t = 0 over the range 0

(b) Since the frequency is f =1 /T =0 . 10 s,the speed of the wave is v = =2 . 0cm/s.
(c) Using the observations made in part (a),Eq. 17-2 becomes
