1. Is it possible for two identical waves (same amplitude and frequency) of finite extent traveling in the same direction to give rise to a standing wave? Explain. 2. What is "standing" in a standing wave? 3. The reflected wave cancels out the vibration of the incident wave at the nodes. What happens to the energy at node positions? 4. Fully describe two major sources of errors in the experiment, and how you would reduce the effects of these errors.

Suppose Alice sends Bob one of two states: 0) or lo) = a[0) + B|1), with a 0. Bob is going to measure to try to figure out which state Alice sent. He has his own orthogonal basis {0), ₁)}. He concludes that Alice prepared |0) if he gets outcome o) and that she prepared |⁄) if he gets outcome ₁). Show that no matter which basis Bob measures in, he will always have some chance of misidentifying Alice's prepared state.

Figure 2 shows four different waves on a string: A, B, C and D. The horizontal line on each of them has the same length and scale representing time in seconds. Type or mark the wave that has the highest frequency. The results of all problems should be expressed in SI units, unless the problem tells you indicate in other units.
Two identical point sources are generating waves with the same frequency and amplitude. The two sources are in phase with each other, so the two sources generate wave crests at the same instant. The wavelength of the waves is equal to the distance between the two sources. A. List all the labeled points where the waves from the two sources constructively interfere. If there are no such points, indicate that by stating "none". Separate each letter with a space. Hint: Determine the difference in the distance that each wave travels from the point sources. For example the difference between the distance travelled to B = 1.5λ - 0.5λ. Constructive interference occurs at ΔL=nλ. Destructive occurs at ΔL=nλ/2. B. List all the labeled points where the waves from the two sources destructively interfere. If there are no such points, indicate that by stating "none". Separate each letter with a space. Hint: Constructive occurs at ΔL=nλ. Destructive occurs at L=ΔL=nλ/2.
