Two generators $S_1$ and $S_2$ produce water waves of equal frequency. $A$ point $P$ is located such that $(S_1P - S_2P)$ is equal to half a wavelength. When operated alone,$S_1$ produces an oscillation of amplitude $2a$ at $P$,while $S_2$ produces an oscillation of amplitude $a$. If the generators are operated in phase,which graph correctly shows the resultant oscillation at $P$?

Obtain the resultant wave of more than two wave functions by representing the superposition principle mathematically.

If two waves of the same frequency and same amplitude,on superimposition,produce a resultant disturbance of the same amplitude,the phase difference between the waves is

Two coherent sources of sound,$S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$,produce sound waves of the same wavelength,$\lambda = 1\, m$,in phase. $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ are placed $1.5\, m$ apart (see figure). $A$ listener,located at $L$,directly in front of $S_{2}$,finds that the intensity is at a minimum when he is $2\, m$ away from $S_{2}$. The listener moves away from $S_{1}$,keeping his distance from $S_{2}$ fixed. The adjacent maximum of intensity is observed when the listener is at a distance $d$ from $S_{1}$. Then,$d$ is $......\, m$.

Two loudspeakers ($L_1$ and $L_2$) are placed with a separation of $10 \ m$, as shown in the figure. Both speakers are fed with an audio input signal of the same frequency with constant volume. $A$ voice recorder, initially at point $A$, at equidistance to both loudspeakers, is moved by $25 \ m$ along the line $AB$ while monitoring the audio signal. The measured signal was found to undergo $10$ cycles of minima and maxima during the movement. The frequency of the input signal is . . . . . . $Hz$. (Speed of sound in air is $324 \ m/s$ and $\sqrt{5} = 2.23$)
