IB Physics Waves

A tutorial sheet on wave concepts follows.

  1. A wave of wavelength 1.0 m travels to the right along a long string at 2.0 m s -1 . Another wave of wavelength 1.0 m travels along the same string at 2.0 m s -1 to the left. Initially, destructive interference has occurred. Does destructive interference always occur on this string?
  2. In the previous question draw the shape of the string one-quarter of a second later.
