Mechanical Waves Concept Excercises

To help understand mechanical waves, here is a set of three excercises.  One gives you the waveform of a wave (a "snapshot" of the wave) at a particular time, then asks you to show what the snapshot would look like at other times.  It then asks
you to show a "history" plot, which shows the position versus time for a particular point on the x axis.  Excercise two turns
this around:  you start with a history plot and end up reconstructing a snapshot.

The set of three exercises is in this PDF file:  ConceptTestsWaves.pdf

The answer to exercise one is in this PDF file:  Answer1.pdf

the anser to exercise two is here:  Answer2.pdf
