Consider a string initially displaced to create a wave profile described by f(x) = sin(x). Using D'Alembert's solution, express the wave at time t.
💡 Hint: Use the given displacement function directly in the formula.
Analyze the effect on wave propagation if the initial velocity profile g(s) is increased significantly. How would this affect the resultant wave motion?
💡 Hint: Think about how velocity changes can amplify wave effects.
