Equation of a plane progressive wave

Question:

Equation of a plane progressive wave is given by y = 0.6 sin 2π(t-x/2). On reflection from a denser medium, its amplitude becomes 2/3 of the amplitude of the incident wave

(a) y = 0.6 sin 2π(t+x/2)

(b) y = -0.4 sin 2π(t+x/2)

(c) y = 0.4 sin 2π(t+x/2)

(d) y = -0.4 sin 2π(t-x/2)

Solution:

The correct answer is (b) y = -0.4 sin 2π(t+x/2)
