Imagine that the string in Figure 15-14 is tied to the pole with a loose loop such that the end is free to move up and down. A pulse of amplitude 10 centimeters is sent down the top of the string, and a moment later a second identical pulse is sent, also on the top. The first pulse reflects from the free boundary and returns along the string. When the reflected pulse meets the second pulse, will the resulting amplitude be less than, equal to, or greater than 10 centimeters? Explain your reasoning.
