The picture below shows a snapshot of a piece of a wave at a time t = 0. Make four copies of this picture and sketch what each pulse would look like at a slightly later time (a time small compared to the time it would take the pulse to move a distance equal to its own width but large enough to see a change in the shape of the string) for the following four cases:
|
1) The pulse is a traveling wave moving to the right. 2) The pulse is a traveling wave moving to the left. 3) The pulse is a standing wave whose amplitude is growing. 4) The pulse is a standing wave whose amplitude is shrinking. |
 |
On each picture draw arrows to show the velocity of the marked points at time t = 0.
