Two waves represented by $y_1 = 10 \sin(200\pi t)$ and $y_2 = 20 \sin(200\pi t + \pi/2)$ are superimposed at any point at a particular instant. The amplitude of the resultant wave is:

Explain the superposition principle for waves forming in calm water.

Two sources of sound $A$ and $B$ produce waves of $350 Hz$,and they vibrate in the same phase. $A$ particle $P$ is vibrating under the influence of these two waves. If the amplitudes at point $P$ produced by the two waves are $0.3 mm$ and $0.4 mm$,what will be the resultant amplitude of the point $P$ when $AP - BP = 25 cm$ and the velocity of sound is $350 m/s$?
