Question 1
Given the wave equation: u''(t) = 4u''(x), apply the method of separation of variables. Explain each step in detail.
💡 Hint: Break down each substitution step and ensure to emphasize the separation process.
Question 2
Explain how differing boundary conditions (e.g., fixed vs free) impact the resultant eigenvalues and the nature of spatial solutions.
💡 Hint: Reflect on the string's physical constraints throughout these conditions.
