Question 1

What occurs when a transverse wave reflects off a fixed end?

  • It continues through
  • It inverts
  • It stops

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of how peaks become troughs.

Question 2

True or False: The wave's amplitude is the same for the incoming and reflected waves.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the nature of inversion while reflecting.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A sinusoidal wave is defined as y(x, t) = 3sin(2Ο€x - 4Ο€t). When it reflects off a fixed end, what will be the equation of the reflected wave?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Pay attention to the inversion effect!

Question 2

In an experiment, a wave with an amplitude of 2m reflects from a fixed boundary. Discuss the implications of wave amplitude upon reflection.

πŸ’‘ Hint: What happens to the peak of the wave during inversion?
