AP Physics 2
14.6 Wave Interference and Standing Waves
14.1 Properties of Wave Pulses and Waves

At time \(t = 0\), the positive pulse extends from \(x = -4d\) to \(x = -2d\) traveling to the right with its maximum displacement \(+A\) at \(x = -2d\), and the inverted pulse extends from \(x = 2d\) to \(x = 4d\) traveling to the left with its minimum displacement \(-A\) at \(x = 2d\).
Which of the following best describes the qualitative graph of the string displacement \(y\) as a function of position \(x\) at time \(t = \dfrac{3d}{v}\), when the two pulses occupy the interval \(-d \le x \le d\)?
