Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a one-dimensional wave equation with initial conditions: u(x, 0) = sin(Ο€x) for 0 ≀ x ≀ 1, and βˆ‚u/βˆ‚t(x, 0) = 0. What does this imply about the motion of the wave at t=0?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what a sine wave looks like and how it moves.

Question 2

A string is fixed at both ends, and you displace it from its equilibrium position and let go at t=0. Define the initial conditions that represent both the shape of the string and its velocity.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Visualize how the string looks when you let go.
