waves on a string.  In this case, a point mass attached to the string
at  creates the disruption to normal propagation
(Figure 1).  The string has mass per unit length
 creates the disruption to normal propagation
(Figure 1).  The string has mass per unit length
 , applied tension
, applied tension  , and may be regarded for this problem as
infinitely long.  The mass has mass
, and may be regarded for this problem as
infinitely long.  The mass has mass  .
