A particular wave pulse is described by the function f(x,t) = (2/??) exp[-(x + ct)²]. Explain how to determine the velocity of the pulse and why that works. In particular, explain why the sign of c determines the direction of propagation. (In case you aren’t familiar, “expo” means “exponential” and exp(x) is often used instead of e? when the argument gets too big to fit comfortably as an exponent. Not that this question requires knowing any of this.)
