Concept explainers
The difference of the incident pulse from the reflected pulse from a rigid wall.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When a pulse travels through a medium and confronts to a rigid medium then pulse reflected back in the same medium. The wavelength, speed and frequency of the reflected wave remain same as the incident pulse. The direction of the reflected pulse become opposite to the direction of the incident pulse.
The general expression of the incident pulse is given as
Conclusion:
Thus, the phase difference differs the incident pulse from the reflected pulse from the rigid wall.
