    Contradictory Sources: Trying to understand waves on a rope being reflected at a boundary

    I'll write everything I understood: Freighter's steel hull is stiffer (more tension) than water, thus wave travel faster in it When a wave is transmitted from a less stiff medium to a stiffer medium, transmitted wave's speed increases and the reflected wave is inverted. When a wave is...

    Contradictory Sources: Trying to understand waves on a rope being reflected at a boundary

    So travelling from heavier (denser) to lighter (less dense), increases speed and vice versa? And from a less stiff rope to a stiffer rope, speed increases and reflected wave is inverted. Does this mean that DaveC426913 is wrong or is density inversely proportional to velocity only in a stretched...

    Contradictory Sources: Trying to understand waves on a rope being reflected at a boundary

    Google, ChatGPT, and Alef are wrong. The physics book is right I just didn't understand it correctly. By saying "If the waves in smaller spring have a greater speed because the spring is stiffer, then the reflected wave will be inverted" it means by smaller denser and it is correct because...

    Are you saying that waves travel slower in denser mediums?

    When lighter to denser, the reflected wave will be inverted*

    Contradictory Sources: Trying to understand waves on a rope being reflected at a boundary

    Sound arrives at the almost exactly the same time, while on air there is a slightly larger difference? Waves in denser mediums travel faster then. So, the vibrations will arrive first. So, a wave going to a denser material will have greater speed and when denser to less denser, it slows down...

    Contradictory Sources: Trying to understand waves on a rope being reflected at a boundary

    Well, firstly air is less dense than water and sound can hardly be heard underwater, so this means the incident wave has greater speed than transmitted wave. So, we can say the opposite is true, a wave going from a denser medium to a less dense medium will be faster. Am I wrong?

    So, transmission to denser materials, that is stiffer, slows down the wave. So, when the wave is going from heavy to light, it will go faster.

    Contradictory Sources: Trying to understand waves on a rope being reflected at a boundary

    The scenario I am referring to is transmission. I want to know how speed is affected when going from heavy to light and opposite.

    Contradictory Sources: Trying to understand waves on a rope being reflected at a boundary

    My physics book says the following: "If the waves in the smaller spring have a greater speed because the spring is stiffer, then the reflected wave will be inverted" This indicates that a stiffer/denser spring results in a greater speed and vice versa Now Google, ChatGPT, and an online source...
