Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Solve the wave equation $$\frac{\partial^{2}u}{\partial t^{2}} = \frac{\partial^{2}u}{\partial x^{2}}$$ with fixed endpoints for initial conditions $u(x,0) = 0$ and $u_t(x,0) = 0$.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how fixed endpoints affect the standing wave pattern.

Question 2

Derive the wave equation in the context of a stretched string under tension, detailing each step.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the forces acting on a tiny piece of the string and how they relate.
