One end (A) of a light piece of string is tied to a stretched helical spring. The other end (B) of the string is fixed to a rigid vertical wall, so that the spring and string are horizontal. A pulse is transmitted through the spring to point A and beyond. a) State what happens when the puise reaches point A b) Explain whether if a crest reaches point A, the reflected pulse would start off with a crest or a trough. c) What happens at the instant that the transmitted pulse reaches B? d) Explain whether if a trough reaches point B, the reflected pulse would start off with a trough or a crest.
