A horizontal straight line represents a stretched string attached to a vertical hatch-marked wall at the right. On the string, a single upward triangular wave pulse travels to the right. A horizontal arrow above the pulse points right toward the wall to indicate the direction of propagation. No other text or labels appear.
A wave pulse traveling along a string toward a fixed wall.
A student creates an upward transverse wave pulse that travels to the right along a stretched string. The right end of the string is rigidly fixed to a wall, as shown in the diagram. Which of the following claims correctly describes the pulse after it reflects from the wall, along with the correct justification?
