Solution
To determine the period of the wave, we need to find the value of the coefficient in front of the x variable in the wave equation. In this case, the coefficient is 1.2. The period of a wave is given by the formula T = 2π/ω, where ω is the angular frequency. The angular frequency is equal to 2π divided by the coefficient in front of the x variable. So, in this case, the angular frequency is 2π/1.2 = 5.24.
To determine the wave velocity, we need to find the value of the coefficient in front of the t variable in the wave equation. In this case, the coefficient is -0.4. The wave velocity is given by the formula v = λ/T, where λ is the wavelength and T is the period. The wavelength is equal to 2π divided by the coefficient in front of the x variable. So, in this case, the wavelength is 2π/1.2 = 5.24.
Now, we can calculate the wave velocity using the formula v = λ/T. Substituting the values, we get v = 5.24/5.24 = 1 m/s.
Therefore, the correct answer is (ii) 0.333 m/s.
