Serway & Jewett β€” Superposition and Standing Waves: Problem 5

Two pulses traveling on the same string are described by \[ y_1 = \frac{5}{(3x - 4t)^2 + 2} \qquad y_2 = \frac{-5}{(3x + 4t - 6)^2 + 2} \] (a) In which direction does each pulse travel? (b) At what instant do the two pulses cancel for all \(x\)? (c) At what point do the two pulses cancel at all times \(t\)?

πŸ“ Solution Approach

Find: (a) In which direction does each pulse travel?; (b) At what instant do the two pulses cancel for all \; (c) At what point do the two pulses cancel at all times \
