A transverse wave on a long horizontal rope with a
wavelength of 8 m travels at 2 m/s. At t= 0, a
particular point on the rope has a vertical
displacement of +A, where A is the amplitude of
the wave. At what time will the vertical
displacement of this same point on the rope be -A ?

The time taken by the wave to travel the vertical  displacement from the point on the rope to -A is 2 seconds

Given to us:

wavelength λ = 8 m,

Velocity v = 2 m/s,

The frequency of a wave is given by:

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 0.25 Hz.

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency,

Therefore, It takes 4 seconds to complete one full cycle.

Hence, the time taken by the wave to travel the vertical  displacement from the point on the rope to -A is 2 seconds as its is the half distance which is needed to be traveled by the wave.

2 seconds

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is related to its wavelength and  speed by the equation

where

f is the frequency

v is the speed of the wave

is the wavelength

For the wave in this problem,

v = 2 m/s

So the frequency is

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency, so for this wave:

This means that the wave takes 4 seconds to complete one full cycle.

Therefore, the time taken for the wave to go from a point with displacement +A to a point with displacement -A is half the period, therefore for this wave:
