1D-pulse at a boundary

  • The simulation shows a pulse travelling from one medium to another. The dashed line shows the boundary between the media.
  • The refractive index of the left medium is 1. The index of the right hand medium can be varied between 0.2 and 5.0 using the slider (n).
  • Tick Show components to show the blue incident pulse and the green reflected pulse. The red line shows the resultant shape of the string
