$A$ sinusoidal progressive wave is generated in a string. Its equation is given by $y = (2 \text{ mm}) \sin(2\pi x - 100\pi t + \pi/3)$. The time when the particle at $x = 4 \text{ m}$ first passes through the mean position will be:

The displacement of a plane progressive wave in a medium, travelling towards the positive $x$-axis with a velocity of $4 \ m/s$, at $t=0$ is given by $y=3 \sin 2 \pi (-x/3)$. The expression for the displacement at a later time $t=4 \ s$ will be:
