(a) Using the method of separation of variables, show that the wave equation reduces to two
ordinary differential equations (ODE’s) of the form:
X ′′(x)− λX(x) = 0
T ′′(t)− 16λT (t) = 0
where λ is the separation constant.
(b) By solving the ODE’s in part (a) for the case λ < 0, determine the solution of the wave
equation subject to the given initial and boundary conditions.
You may assume that solving the ODE’s in part (a) for the cases λ > 0 and λ = 0 leads
to trivial solutions. You do not need to work through these two cases.
