The displacement of a traveling wave is given by \(y=C\sin\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}({at}-x)\) where \(t\) is time, \(x\) is distance and \(\lambda\) is the wavelength, all in SI units. The frequency of the wave is:
1. \(\dfrac{2\pi\lambda}{a}\) 2. \(\dfrac{2\pi a}{\lambda}\)
3. \(\dfrac{\lambda}{a}\) 4. \(\dfrac{a}{\lambda}\)
