Options

  1. A

    y=2cos⁡(0.83x−3.35t)cmy=2 \cos (0.83 x-3.35 t) \mathrm{cm}y=2cos(0.83x−3.35t)cm

  2. B

    y=2sin⁡(0.83x−3.5t)cmy=2 \sin (0.83 x-3.5 t) \mathrm{cm}y=2sin(0.83x−3.5t)cm

  3. C

    y=2cos⁡(3.35x−0.83t)cmy=2 \cos (3.35 x-0.83 t) \mathrm{cm}y=2cos(3.35x−0.83t)cm

  4. D

    y=2cos⁡(0.13x−0.5t)cmy=2 \cos (0.13 x-0.5 t) \mathrm{cm}y=2cos(0.13x−0.5t)cm
