The equation of a plane progressive wave is given by \(y=0.6 \sin 2 \pi\left(t-\dfrac{x}{2}\right)\). On reflection from a denser medium, its amplitude becomes \(\frac{2}{3}\) of the amplitude of the incident wave. The equation of the reflected wave is:
| 1. | \(y=0.6 \sin 2 \pi\left(t+\dfrac{x}{2}\right)\) | 2. | \(y=-0.4 \sin 2 \pi\left(t+\dfrac{x}{2}\right) \) |
