A pulse is moving toward the end of a spring with a speed of 80 cm/s. It is not known whether the end is a fixed end or a free end. The diagrams below show the shape of the pulse at t = 0 s and at t = 1 s. Is the end of the spring a free end or a fixed end? Explain. If there is not enough information, state so explicitly. Write your explanation on paper and support your explanation with a clear diagram.

Wave Motion

A wave motion is defined as the propagation of disturbances or transfer of energy and momentum from the state of rest or equilibrium to another point in a medium without any actual transfer of matter between them. In a simple explanation, it is the propagation of energy through a medium that is produced due to the repeated vibrations of the particles. Common things we see day to day like waves on water oscillation of a pendulum or bell, light wave, and all the subatomic particles exhibiting wavelike properties. The propagation of waves depends on the medium and their properties. The wave function is the disturbance that produces waves as a function of time. This disturbance oscillates periodically with a fixed frequency and wavelength. There are linear wave motion and non-linear wave motion based on their propagation, motion, and time period where linear wave motion is like sinusoidal waves and non-linear wave motion like a wave motion that gets interrupted in the middle of their propagation.
