Question 1
What is the standard form of the one-dimensional wave equation?
- ∂²u/∂t² = c²∂²u/∂x²
- ∂u/∂t = c∂²u/∂x²
- ∂²u/∂x² = 0
💡 Hint: This equation relates how wave displacement changes over time and position.
Question 2
True or False: The wave equation can only model sound waves.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think about different forms of wave propagation.

Question 1
A string with a length of 2m is under a tension of 100N and has a mass per unit length of 0.5 kg/m. What is the speed of a wave on this string?
💡 Hint: Focus on finding the values for T and μ to use in the formula.
Question 2
Describe how to modify the wave equation for a string with varying tension and mass per unit length along its length.
💡 Hint: Think about how each section of the string might behave differently due to changing properties.
