    The answer to the last question is: NO. Lambda is a constant and must be the same for both v and w. You can verify this by considering a counterexample - mixing two different values of lambda will not satisfy the wave equation in the first place.

    6:17 Presumably this equation is meant to be valid for all t and x in the domains of w and v.
    If so, then we could pick a particular value of t, say t_0 and show that c^2 v''(x)/v(x) = w''(t_0)/w(t_0) (=constant) for all x. Similarly, we could pick a particular value of x, say x_0 and show that w''(t)/w(t) = c^2 v''(x_0)/v(x_0) (=constant) for all t. The constant in both cases must be the same, since from last equation, w''(t_0)/w(t_0) = c^2 v''(x_0)/v(x_0) = constant (lambda).

    tomorrow is my final. My true final. I will not be taking any course labeled as "math" ever again. I will take math related subjects, but nothing purely math.
    our teacher for the worksheets (donno if that's a thing anywhere else) hinted to us that many questions on the final will be with the 1d wave equation, which is something many of us (if not all) can understand, because for some reason, we have no teachers who can explain a subject, and the ones who can, don't believe we ever need help because we have "great teachers". This whole year, I've been relying on youtube teachers for all of the lessons, and am finally able to understand a bit of math.
    Thank you for this video. Although I am still a bit lost, but at least I can try getting my hands on it and seeing if I can do it with actual simple steps.
    since it is my last math now, I would love to say, I hate math, and I hate that they had to give us the wave equation just at the very end of our course, which we (or at least I) know is always neglected.
    I just hope to pass.

  • @ryanbadgerheart
    @ryanbadgerheart 10 лет назад +2

    To answer the final question I would say generally no because of what we have assumed, if u(x,t)=v(x)w(t) the original pde needs to be equal to the constant of separation otherwise you won't have uxx=c^2 utt anymore, as the left term of the equation would be equal to something different compared to the right term.
    However you may well be lucky and get sometimes a solution that works

  • @matthewjames7513
    @matthewjames7513 7 лет назад

    All the solutions talked about here are a consequence of assuming u has the form u = v(x) w(t). Yet we know the general solution is u = p(x-ct) + q(x+ct) from d'Alembert's formula. Does this mean that every solution talked about in this video, /lambda > 0, /lambda < 0, /lambda = 0 must also coincidentally have the form u = p(x-ct) + q(x+ct)?
    Also why is assuming u = v(x) w(t) linked to the motion of standing waves exclusively ?

    • @udahluser
      @udahluser 7 лет назад +1

      I know it's been 9 months, but I can try to answer your question (maybe). You won't run into a case where lambda is complex because lambda is the equation constant, what you might be thinking of is when omega is complex, which would be when lambda is negative ( lambda = omega^2, where lambda < 0, thus omega is some form of i). This would be like having a complex root (lambda) in your classic Second Order ODEs where your solution is in Sines and Cosines

    • @OswaldChisala
      @OswaldChisala 7 лет назад +1

      Hi! Actually lambda might be complex. It's all dependent on the starting function (the solution, in uncertain terms). If, for example, you end up with a complex sinusoid of the form e^(iwf(t,x)) where f(t,x) is a function that validates the solution, the quotient X"(param)/X(param) would be complex valued. An application of this might be found in electrical engineering, probably for EM phasor analysis or something. Oh, and I forgot to put in, X(param) would be the complex function alluded to a second ago :)

    Kinda lost me there.

    • @OswaldChisala
      @OswaldChisala 7 лет назад

      Basic solutions are really just a way of generating a "unit value" type solution.
      Think coefficients = 1 with the knowledge that you can transform the function at will. That's my 2-cent take on what a basic solution is, but hopefully an awesome RUclipsr out there will make this topic even clearer. If his cases bother you, just focus on how to get the solution because that's the most important thing.
      Also, for the question of why u(t,x) = v(t)*w(x), he assumed that the solution(s) would be expressible in that form to ensure that the PDE could be solved by the seperable variables technique, which he used. If you wanted to become even more general by presuming that u(t,x) should be implicit in t and x (i.e. the clean v*w factorization cannot be obtained) then sure, you could go ahead and solve that system for a general function.
      BUT that requires more mathematical dexterity, which is why he assumed that you should be able to find a simple class of solutions given by u(t,v) = v(t)*w(x).
      Hopefully that helps. :)
