Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What happens to a wave when it reflects at a free end?

  • It inverts
  • It reflects without inversion
  • It disappears

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the definition of a free end.

Question 2

True or False: The amplitude of a wave changes during reflection at a free end.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens when the wave returns.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A wave traveling on a rope reflects at a free end. If the incident wave is described by y = Asin(kx - Ο‰t), write the equation for the reflected wave.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember how the wave behaves at the boundary.

Question 2

Explain how the different types of boundaries (free vs. fixed) could affect energy transmission in practical applications like cables or strings.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider why energy loss might occur differently at each type of boundary.
