A wave travels on a light string.The equation of the wave is $Y = A \,\sin \,(kx -  \omega t + 30^o)$.It is reflected from a heavy string tied to an end of the light string at $x = 0$. If $64\%$ of the incident energy is reflected the equation of the reflected wave is

$ y =.8 A \sin \left(-k x-\omega t+30^{\circ}+180^{\circ}\right) $

$=-.8 A \sin \left(-k x-\omega t+30^{\circ}\right) $

$=0.8 A \sin \left(k x+\omega t-30^{\circ}\right)$
