Assignment on BioPhysics

1.) The equation of a certain traveling transverse wave is given below:

y = 2 sin 2 pi [ (t/0.01) - (x/30) ]
where x and y are in cm, and t in seconds.

What are the waves:
a) amplitude
b) wavelength
c) frequency
d) speed of propagation


2.) What is the difference between the speeds of longitudinal waves in air at -3 degrees Celsius and 57 degrees Celsius?


Merry Christmas guys!
