Step 1: Solution

Consider the wave equation

uxx-c2utt=0 for 0<x<

ux,0=ϕxut0,t=ψt , x>0ux0,t=0, t>0

Using the reflection method with even extensions to reduce the problem to an IVP on the whole line.

Define the even extensions of the initial data

ϕeven=ϕx   for x0ϕ-x   for  x0ψeven=ψx   for x0ψ-x   for  x0

Using D' Alembert formula for the solution we have 

ux,t=12ϕx+ct+ϕx-ct+12cx-ctx+ctψydy
