Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using the wave equation, derive the solution for a string of length L subjected to initial conditions: u(x, 0) = φ(x) = sin(nπx/L). Identify the wave's behavior.

💡 Hint: Consider Fourier expansion concepts.

Question 2

Analyze a free end boundary condition for a wave equation. If u(0, t) = 0 and ∂u/∂x(L, t) = 0, derive implications for wave behavior at both ends.

💡 Hint: Think about how Neumann conditions allow for variable freedom.
