A generator at one end of a very long string creates a wave given by y = (3.60 cm) cos[(π/2)(2.01 m-1x + 4.60 s-1t)] and a generator at the other end creates the wave y = (3.60 cm) cos[(π/2)(2.01 m-1x - 4.60 s-1t)] Calculate the (a) frequency, (b) wavelength, and (c) speed of each wave. For x ≥ 0, what is the location of the node having the (d) smallest, (e) second smallest, and (f) third smallest value of x? For x ≥ 0, what is the location of the antinode having the (g) smallest, (h) second smallest, and (i) third smallest value of x?
