Thank you so much for your help.

p.s I hope ,if possible, you could let me have answers as in pdf file or scaned paper(unless I could read or understand the letters that you wrote.. Cause, sometimes it's really hard to read the spelling in the sentence in the answers from the OTA.)

Solution Summary

Progressive wave can be given with the waveform given by the equation
E1 = 100 sin (wt-kx)
where w(omega which is also given by 2*(pi)*Frequency) is the angular velocity of the wave
in your equation w is 5(pi)

1. Your first question (7.14) is
to show that the equn E = 100 Sin(2(pi)x/3) Cos 5(pi)t is a mixture of two progressive waves.

Ans : Actually Any prograssive wave can be given with the waveform given by the eqution
E1 = 100 sin (wt-kx)
where w(omega which is also given by 2*(pi)*Frequency) is the angular velocity of the wave
in your equation w is 5(pi)
and K( phase constant which is also given by 2(pi)x/lambda)
in your eqaution k is 2(pi)/3.
Here this equation represents a wave which moves in a medium along positive x axis. If it rebounds at a rigid boundary, the wave form returns in the opposite direction ( i.e. +ve x-axis direction) and also gets a phase inversion ( i.e gets a phase difference of (pi) radians). Hence forth gives another wave
