Phase reversal at fixed boundary

All: I would like to simulate a wave pulse on a string. The end of the 
string is fixed to a wall so when the pulse hits the wall I have perfect 
reflection with a phase reversal. The following code is an attempt and 
if I could figure out how to put the two animations together I would 
just about have it. Any suggestions?


=
Animate[Show[Graphics[Rectangle[{9.5,-1},{10,1}]],Plot[PDF[NormalDistribution[t,.5],x],{x, -4,9.5}, PlotRange->{{-4,10}, {-1,1}}]], {t, 0, 10}]

=
Animate[Show[Graphics[Rectangle[{9.5,-1},{10,1}]],Plot[-PDF[NormalDistribution[10-t,.5],x],{x, 9.5,-4}, PlotRange->{{-4,10}, {-1,1}}]], {t, 0, 10}]


Thanks in advance. Jon=
