Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a vibrating membrane with f(x, y) defined as a paraboloid shape. Describe the initial conditions and how this might influence the vibration modes.

💡 Hint: Focus on how different initial shapes change the modes.

Question 2

If you had a complex initial velocity function g(x, y) that varies sinusoidally, discuss its potential effects on the membrane's vibrations.

💡 Hint: Think about how non-uniform velocities affect wave propagation.
