Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).

Question

The displacement of a traveling wave as a function of position and time is given by;

y(x,t) = 0.18 sin(25.3x-530t) where are values have proper SI Units.
