Multiple Choice
Mathematics of traveling waves: Four traveling waves are described by the following equations, where all quantities are measured in SI units and y represents the displacement. I: y = 0.12 cos(3x - 21t)
II: y = 0.15 sin(6x + 42t)
III: y = 0.13 cos(6x + 21t)
IV: y = -0.27 sin(3x - 42t)
Which of these waves have the same period?
A) I and III, and also II and IV
B) I and IV, and also II and III
C) I and II, and also III and IV
D) All of them have the same period.
E) They all have different periods.
