Q.

Two waves are simultaneously passing through a string. The equations of the waves are given by 

y1 = A1 sin k(x − vt) and y2 = A2 sin k(x − vt + x0), 

where the wave number k = 6.28 cm−1 and x0 = 1.50 cm. The amplitudes are A1 = 5.0 mm and A2 = 4.0mm. Find the phase difference between the waves and the amplitude of the resulting wave

The phase of the first wave is k (x − vt) and the second is k (x − vt + x0).

The phase difference is, 

therefore,
δ = k x0 = (6.28/cm ) (1.50 cm) = 2 π × 1.5 = 3 π.

The waves satisfy the condition of destructive interference

The amplitude of the resulting wave is given by |A1 − A2

= 5.0 mm − 4.0 mm = 1.0 mm
