A transverse wave is travelling along a horizontal string. The first figure is the shape of the string at an instant of time. The second picture is a graph of the vertical displacement of a point on the string as a function of time. Find the wave speed.



Important Questions on Travelling Waves
The figures of case (a), case (b) and case (c) shows the shape of three strings on which sinusoidal transverse waves are propagating. The arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of wave propagation. Out of the particles marked which particles have their instantaneous velocity and acceleration both directed towards their mean position.
