If a wave is travelling in a positive X-direction with A = 0.2 m, velocity = 360 m/s, and λ = 60 m, then the correct expression for the wave will be:

1.  \(\mathrm{y}=0.2 \sin \left[2 \pi\left(6 \mathrm{t}+\frac{\mathrm{x}}{60}\right)\right]\)
2. \(\mathrm{y}=0.2 \sin \left[ \pi\left(6 \mathrm{t}+\frac{\mathrm{x}}{60}\right)\right]\)
3. \(\mathrm{y}=0.2 \sin \left[2 \pi\left(6 \mathrm{t}-\frac{\mathrm{x}}{60}\right)\right]\)
4. \(\mathrm{y}=0.2 \sin \left[ \pi\left(6 \mathrm{t}-\frac{\mathrm{x}}{60}\right)\right]\)
