Question

A transverse sinusoidal wave moves along a string in the positive x direction. In figure (I) the displacement of particle at P as a function of time is given and in figure (II), at a particular time t , the snapshot of the wave is shown. The wave velocity (cm/s) and velocity of particle at P (cm/s) will be:
