A pulse is sent traveling along a rope under a tension of 33 N whose mass per unit length abruptly changes, from 19 kg/m to 44 kg/m. The length of the rope is 3.0 m for the first section and 2.5 m for the second, and the second rope is rigidly fixed to a wall.

Two pulses will eventually be detected at the origin: the pulse that was reflected from the medium discontinuity and the pulse that was originally transmitted, which hits the wall and is reflected back and transmitted through the first rope. What is the time difference, Δt, between the two pulses detected at the origin?
