a) Starting from the general wave equation (equation 15.9), prove through direct derivation that the Gaussian wave packet described by the equation y(x,t) = (5.00m)e-0.1(x-5t) is indeed a traveling wave (that it satisfies the differential wave equation).
b) If x is specified in meters and t in seconds, determine the speed of this wave. On a single graph, plot this wave as a function of x at t = 0, t = 1.00 s, t = 2.00 s, and t = 3.00 s.
c) More generally, prove that any function f(x,t) that depends on x and t through a combined variable x±vt is a solution of the wave equation, irrespective of the specific form of the function f
