Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to derive the expressions for the reflected wave from both a rigid boundary and an open boundary based on the incident wave given by the equation: \[ y(x,t) = 20 \sin(2x - 4t) \] ### Step 1: Understand the Incident Wave The incident wave is given by: \[ y(x,t) = 20 \sin(2x - 4t) \] This can be rewritten to emphasize its components: ...
