  1. A

    y=(0.02)msin⁡(7.58x−1005t)y=(0.02) m \sin (7.58 x-1005 t)y=(0.02)msin(7.58x−1005t)

  2. B

    y=(0.02)msin⁡(7.85x+1005t)y=(0.02) \mathrm{m} \sin (7.85 x+1005 \mathrm{t})y=(0.02)msin(7.85x+1005t)

  3. C

    y=(0.02)msin⁡(15.7x−2010t)y=(0.02) m \sin (15.7 x-2010 t)y=(0.02)msin(15.7x−2010t)

  4. D

    y=(0.02)msin⁡(15.7x+2010t)y=(0.02) m \sin (15.7 x+2010 t)y=(0.02)msin(15.7x+2010t)
