Question 1
Consider a one-dimensional wave equation with initial conditions: u(x, 0) = sin(Οx) for 0 β€ x β€ 1, and βu/βt(x, 0) = 0. What does this imply about the motion of the wave at t=0?
π‘ 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.
π‘ Hint: Visualize how the string looks when you let go.
