Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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.

Challenge 2 Hard

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.
