Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a wave governed by the equation ∂²u/∂t² = 9 ∂²u/∂x². If u(0, 0) = 1 and u'(0, 0) = 0, derive D'Alembert's solution for this scenario.

💡 Hint: Remember to carefully integrate and match the conditions.

Question 2

Given the equation of motion is affected by variables that cause additional friction. How might D'Alembert's solution adapt to this change?

💡 Hint: Consider adjustments in the terms and how waves dissipate.
