An aluminum rod, 1.00 m long, is held lightly in the middle. One end is struck head-on with a rubber mallet so that a longitudinal pulse—a sound wave—travels down the rod. The fundamental frequency of the longitudinal vibration is 3.20 kHz. At any given instant, in which direction do the two ends of the rod vibrate?
