A transverse wave propagating along the \(x\text-\)axis is represented by:
\(y(x,t)=8.0\sin\left(0.5\pi x-4\pi t-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\), where \(x\) is in meters and \(t\) in seconds. The speed of the wave is: 
1. \(4\pi\) m/s
2. \(0.5\) m/s
3. \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) m/s
4. \(8\) m/s

A wave in a string has an amplitude of \(2\) cm. The wave travels in the positive direction of the \(x\text-\)axis with a speed of \(128~\text{m/s}\) and it is noted that \(5\) complete waves fit in the \(4\) m length of the string. The equation describing the wave is:
1. \(y =(0.02~\text{m})\sin(7.85x+1005t)\)
2. \(y =(0.02~\text{m})\sin(15.7x-2010t)\)
3. \(y =(0.02~\text{m})\sin(15.7x+2010t)\)
4. \(y =(0.02~\text{m})\sin(7.85x-1005t)\)
