Problem

A sinusoidal wave on a string is given by yi=0.02sin⁡(4πx−200πt)y_i = 0.02\sin(4\pi x - 200\pi t), where yy and xx are in metres and tt in seconds. The wave travels towards a fixed end located at x=0x = 0. (i) Write the equation of the reflected wave. (ii) What is the resultant displacement at the point x=0x = 0 at any instant?
