Question
In the given progressive wave $​​​​\text{y}=5\sin(100\pi\text{t+0.4x})$ where y and x are in m, t is in s. What is the:
Amplitude

Answer

Standard form of progressive wave travelling in $+\text{x}$ direction (kx and $\omega\text{}t$ have opposite sign is given) Eqn. is $\text{y}=\text{a}\sin(\omega\text{t}-\text{kx}+\phi)$$\text{y}=5\sin(100\pi\text{t}-0.4\pi\text{t}+0)$
Amplitude $\text{a}=5\text{m}$
