Two sinusoidal waves given below are superposed:
$y_1 = A \sin \left(kx - \omega t + \frac{\pi}{6}\right), \quad y_2 = A \sin \left(kx - \omega t - \frac{\pi}{6}\right)$
The equation of the resultant wave is:

  • A
    $y = \frac{A}{\sqrt{3}} \sin (kx - \omega t)$
  • B
    $y = A \sqrt{3} \sin (kx - \omega t)$
  • C
    $y = A \sqrt{3} \sin \left(kx - \omega t - \frac{\pi}{3}\right)$
  • D
    $y = \frac{A}{\sqrt{3}} \sin \left(kx - \omega t - \frac{\pi}{3}\right)$

Two harmonic travelling waves are described by the equations $y_1 = a \sin (kx - \omega t)$ and $y_2 = a \sin (-kx + \omega t + \phi)$. The amplitude of the superposed wave is:

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 . . . . . . $Hz$.

Two sound waves each of wavelength $\lambda$ and having the same amplitude $A$ from two sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ interfere at a point $P$. If the path difference $S_2P - S_1P = \lambda/3$,then the amplitude of the resultant wave at point $P$ will be $[\cos(120^{\circ}) = -0.5]$.

Two waves executing simple harmonic motion travelling in the same direction with same amplitude and frequency are superimposed. The resultant amplitude is equal to the $\sqrt{3}$ times the amplitude of individual motions. The phase difference between the two motions is $.....( ^{\circ)}$
