Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Consider a one-dimensional wave equation with initial conditions: u(x, 0) = sin(πx) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, and ∂u/∂t(x, 0) = 0. What does this imply about the motion of the wave at t=0?
💡 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.
💡 Hint: Visualize how the string looks when you let go.
