Waves Consisting of Single Pulses

Single Transverse Pulses: Reflection of a Wave at a Fixed End The generation of single transverse pulses and reflection from a fixed end are demonstrated.
Single Longitudinal Pulses The generation of single longitudinal pulses is demonstrated.
Energy Dissipation, Constructive and Destructive Interference Important wave phenomena include energy dissipation (wave damping) and wave interference.

Characteristics of single pulse waves include direction of displacement and wave speed.
