Exploration 17.6: Make a Standing Wave

Check your function here:     g(x , t) =  

Please wait for the animation to completely load.

Find a wave function, g(x, t), that will produce a standing wave with a node at x = 0 m, i.e., at the center (position is given in meters and time is given in seconds).  You may want to pause the animation before you click-drag the mouse to read position coordinates.  Restart.
