If on a taut string, we have a wave pulse traveling in the positive x direction with an amplitude A... simultaneously, from the other end we have a wave pulse traveling in the negative x direction with amplitude -A (i.e., it is faced downwards)
At a certain time t, they will superimpose upon each other, and if we take a photograph at that time, we will see a straight string, with no wave pulses in it.
What has happened to the energy of the two wave pulses? where did it go?
