Answer

$y=(0.11m)cos(\frac{2\pi}{2.6m}x-\frac{2\pi}{0.18s})t$

Work Step by Step

As $T=\frac{\lambda}{v}$ $T=\frac{2.6}{14.3}$ The required expression can be written as $y=Acos(\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}x-\frac{2\pi}{T}t)$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $y=(0.11m)cos(\frac{2\pi}{2.6m}x-\frac{2\pi}{0.18s})t$
