Sam and Salome pull on a a rope which has different linear mas densities at each end. Sam holds onto the end with mass density  μ1​ and begins moving his arm to produce a traveling wave pulse which travels from his end towards Salome's end which has linear mass density  μ2. At the boundary where the rope changes in linear mass density from  μ1​ to μ2​, Salome observes a reflected wave pulse and a transmitted wave pulse. (a) Salome measures that the wave speed of the transmitted pulse in her end is higher than the original wave speed that traveled from Sam's end. (i) What does this tell you about the linear mass density of the rope at Salome's end compared to linear mass density of the rope at Sam's end. (ii)Which of the wave pulses would be more compressed, the original pulse generated at Sam's end or the transmitted pulse at Salome's end? (iii) Is the reflected wave pulse inverted or not? (iv) Is the speed of the reflected wave pulse greater than. lower than or equal to the original wave pulse generated by Sam? (b)  If Sam and Salome pull harder on the rope, what would happen to the speed of the traveling wave pulses in the rope. Give a reason for your answer
