Chapter 15, Problem 15.35E
Interference of Rectangular Pulses. Figure E15.35 shows two rectangular wave pulses on a stretched string traveling toward each other. Each pulse is traveling with a speed of 1.00 mm/s and has the height and width shown in the figure. If the leading edges of the pulses are 8.00 mm apart at t = 0, sketch the shape of the string at t = 4.00 s, t = 6.00 s, and t = 10.0 s.
