If a wave is travelling in a positive X-direction with A = 0.2 m, velocity = 360 m/s, and λ = 60 m, then the correct expression for the wave will be:
1. | \(\mathrm{y}=0.2 \sin \left[2 \pi\left(6 \mathrm{t}+\frac{\mathrm{x}}{60}\right)\right]\) |
2. | \(\mathrm{y}=0.2 \sin \left[ \pi\left(6 \mathrm{t}+\frac{\mathrm{x}}{60}\right)\right]\) |
3. | \(\mathrm{y}=0.2 \sin \left[2 \pi\left(6 \mathrm{t}-\frac{\mathrm{x}}{60}\right)\right]\) |
4. | \(\mathrm{y}=0.2 \sin \left[ \pi\left(6 \mathrm{t}-\frac{\mathrm{x}}{60}\right)\right]\) |
