Chapter 9.2, Problem 4bT
Which of the following quantities are different on the two sides of the boundary?
- tension
- linear mass density
- wave speed
Which of the speed above quantities could you use to predict whether the boundary will act more like a fixed end or more like a free end? (It may help to consider limiting cases, i.e., very large or very small values of the properties.)
Describe how you could predict whether the reflected pulse will be on the same side of the spring as the incident pulse or whether it will be on the opposite side.

- Consider two wave functions y1(x,t)=Asin(kxt) and y2(x,t)=Asin(kx+t+) . The resultant wave form when you add the two functions is yR=2Asin(kx+2)cos(t+2) .

It is hard to conceive of a mechanical wave with sharp corners, but you could encounter such a wave form in your digital electronics class, as shown below. This could be a signal from a device known as an analog to digital converter, in which a continuous voltage signal is converted into a discrete signal or a digital recording of sound.

In the previous section, we stated that a cosine function could also be used to model a simple harmonic mechanical wave. Check if the wave y(x,t)=0.50mcos(0.20m1x4.00s1t+10) is a solution to the wave equation. Any disturbance that complies with the wave equation can propagate as a wave moving along the x-axis with a wave speed v. It works equally well for waves on a string, sound waves, and electromagnetic waves. This equation is extremely useful. For example, it can be used to show that electromagnetic waves move at the speed of light.arrow_forward
