A transverse wave on a rope has wavelength λ and period T. The graph shows the variation of the displacement of the particles of the rope with distance in the direction of travel of the wave at time t = 0. [Figure 21.1] A particle X is labelled. Which graph shows the variation of the displacement of particle X with time t?
