Abstract

This article explores the energy behavior of two inverted, oppositely moving wave pulses as they approach each other and destructively interfere. The article presents a graphical approach to studying the energy of these wave pulses and analyzes the kinetic and potential energy associated with the pulses. The results show that the energy travels with the pulses at the same speed and that during total superposition, the only energy present is kinetic. The article provides visual representations and numerical values to support the findings. The authors acknowledge Dr. Angel Franco García for his contributions to the discussion and verification of the results. [Extracted from the article]
