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