An elastic rope is tied securely to a wall. An upward-displaced pulse is introduced into the rope. The pulse travels through the rope, reaches the boundary with the wall and reflects. The reflected pulse will be .

Inverted (displaced downwards)

Explanation:

The pulse becomes INVERTED upon reflecting off the boundary with the wall. That is, an upward-displaced pulse will reflect off the end and return with a downward displacement. This inversion behavior will always be observed when the end of the medium is fixed, like this wall in this instance. This INVERSION BEHAVIOR can also be observed when the medium is connected to another more heavy or more dense medium. And in this case, when the pulse reaches the end of the medium, a portion of the pulse will reflect off the end and return with an inverted displacement. The heavier medium acts like a fixed end to cause the pulse to be inverted.

Summary: a pulse reaching the end of a medium becomes inverted whenever it either:

i. reflects off a fixed end,

ii. is moving in a less dense medium and reflects off a more dense medium.

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19
