8. A 15.0 m long string is tied at one end (point B) and shaken
repeatedly at the other end (point A) with a 2.00 Hz frequency.
This generates waves that "travel at 20.0 m/s in the string.

B and return to A?
b) What is the wavelength
of these waves?
c) Are the pulses inverted when reflected from B? Why?
