I have just started reading about them, so forgive my basic question. I wonder how a "standard" wave propagating on a string whose end has been moved and brought back to its initial position is different from a soliton. Or is it indeed a solitary wave?
I ask because when studying waves before, I had never encountered solitons, which make me think that the two are different things and I am just getting confused here.
