Question

E1-CT16: WAVE PULSES TRAVELING TOWARD EACH OTHER-SPEED as high. er along a long stretched spring as shown. Pulse A is wider than pulse B, but not Is the speed of pulse A (G) larger than, (l) smaller than, or (ii) equal to the speed of pulse B? If there is not enough information to tell, state that explicitly. Explain your reasoning. E 1-wWT17: Two w AVE PULSES INTERACTING-IMPACT A student states: "I f two wave pulses traveling in opposite directions along the same string meet, they reflect from one another and go back the way they came from." What, if anything, is wrong with this statement? If something is wrong, identify it and explain how to it. If this statement is correct, explain why.

Explanation / Answer

E1-CT16

Speed of A = speed of B

since speed = sqrt(Tension/linear mass density)

for both A and B , the tension force and linear mass density is same. hence the speeds are same
