The packet is initially located at position
-function.
The packet is initially located at position  at time t=0.
 at time t=0.
Compute the time required for the reflected packet to return to
position  .  How does this time compare with
.  How does this time compare with  , in
other words, what is the time lag, if any, in the reflected packet?
, in
other words, what is the time lag, if any, in the reflected packet?
Compute the time required for the transmitted packet to reach
position  .  How does this time compare with
.  How does this time compare with  , in
other words, what is the time lag, if any, in the transmitted packet?
