Question 1
What is the general form of D'Alembert's solution?
- u(x,t) = f(x + ct)
- u(x,t) = f(x + ct) + g(x - ct)
- u(x,t) = c²u(x,t)
💡 Hint: Think about how waves can part ways.
Question 2
True or False: D'Alembert's solution applies only in the scenario of non-linear wave forms.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Recall the types of equations we discussed.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given an initial displacement of \( u(x,0) = e^{-x^2} \) and an initial velocity \( \partial u / \partial t(x,0) = e^{-x^2} \), derive the complete wave solution using D'Alembert's formula.
💡 Hint: Recognize how the exponential function behaves when traveling across the wave.
Question 2
Analyze how increasing the wave speed \( c \) affects the propagation of \( u(x,0) = ext{sin}(x) \) and \( \partial u / \partial t(x,0) = 0 \).
💡 Hint: Think about a race—how does speed make a difference?
