The diagram below represents two pulses approaching each other from opposite directions in the same medium. Which diagram best represents the medium after the pulses have passed through each other?
The diagram below shows two pulses approaching each other in a uniform medium. Which diagram best represents the superposition of the two pulses?
Two pulses approach each other as shown. After a short time the pulses meet and then move through each other. Draw the resultant of the two pulses at the location shown below. You can sketch the resultant wave right on the diagram. [3 marks]
