Two pulses of exactly the same size and shape are traveling toward each other along a stretched rope; they differ only in that one is upright while the other is inverted. Superposition tells you that when the pulses meet each other, they will cancel each other exactly at that instant and the rope will show no evidence of a pulse. What happens afterwards?
