Questions  

Two waves are represented by y1=asinωt+π6 and y2=acosωt. What will be their resultant amplitude

a
a
b
2a
c
3a
d
2a

detailed solution

Correct option is C

A=(a12+a22+2a1a2cosφ)Putting a1=a2=a and φ=π3, we get A=3a

Two waves are propagating to the point P along a straight line produced by two sources A and B of simple harmonic and of equal frequency. The amplitude of every wave at P is ‘a’ and the phase of A is ahead by π3 than that of B and the distance AP is greater than BP by 50 cm. Then the resultant amplitude at the point P will be, if the wavelength is 1 meter
