    Please help me understand how transverse waves reflect at a boundary

    Oh... Well in that case would you happen to know of any such simulations that allow you to view the code? Sorry, it's very difficult for me to wrap my head around this for some reason.

    Please help me understand how transverse waves reflect at a boundary

    Thank you! I think I am starting to get it now. One last thing, please let me know if I have come to the right conclusions. In the fixed end case A's velocity reverses and in the free end case A moves to twice the original height of the wave, so that should mean at the boundary it experiences a...

    Please help me understand how transverse waves reflect at a boundary

    Oh okay, so B exerts a downwards force on A, and then A continues traveling downwards because of inertia and by doing so it starts the reflected wave? I think I am still a bit confused though because it seems like when the reflected wave is formed, wouldn't A pull on B again causing B to exert...

    Please help me understand how transverse waves reflect at a boundary

    Hello, I am a student who is trying to learn some physics independently so I apologize in advance if I am not making sense. I have studied physics a bit in school but nothing very rigorous and it is a subject that I have trouble with, especially waves. This is what I have been reading...
