Homework problem:
For the wave equation:
Utt-Uxx=0, t>0, xER
u(x,0)=
1, |x|<1
0, |x|>1
sketch the solution u as a function of x at t= 1/2, 1, 2, and 3
I am able to use d'Alemberts and solve for u however the boundaries and the odd/even reflections are throwing me off and I don't know how to do this. Any help would be great thank you.
