The planar simple harmonic wave travels in the positive direction of x axis with wave velocity u=2m/s, and the vibration curve of the particle at the origin in cosinusoidal form is shown in the figure. Try to find (1) the vibration function of the particle at the origin, (2) the wave function of the planar simple harmonic wave according to the origin.
