2.065/2.066 Acoustics and Sensing: Massachusetts Institute of Technology

1) The document derives the 1D wave equation for propagation of signals in 1 dimension and for vibrations of a string. 2) Sinusoidal solutions of the 1D wave equation represent forward and backward propagating waves with wavelength λ and frequency f related by the wave speed c. 3) A standing wave can be represented as the sum of forward and backward propagating waves and has nodes and antinodes that do not propagate.
