A wave traveling in a string may be represented by the equation

Here, A is the amplitude, t is the time the wave has traveled, x is the distance from the origin, T is the time required for the wave to travel one wavelength λ (the Greek letter lambda). Sketch three cycles of the wave for which A = 2.00 cm, T = 0.100 s, λ = 20.0 cm, and x = 5.00 cm.
