Two sound waves having intensities $I$ and $4I$ interfere to produce an interference pattern. The phase difference between the waves is $\pi / 2$ at point $A$ and $\pi$ at point $B$. Then the difference between the resultant intensities at $A$ and $B$ is (in $I$)

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $7$

Obtain the equation of resultant displacement of two progressive harmonic waves on a stretched string.

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 $......\, m$.

The resultant amplitude due to the superposition of two waves $y_1 = 5 \sin (\omega t - kx)$ and $y_2 = -5 \cos (\omega t - kx - 150^{\circ})$ is:

The amplitude of a wave,represented by the displacement equation $y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{a}} \sin \omega t \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{b}} \cos \omega t$,will be:

$A$ person standing at a distance of $6\, m$ from a source of sound receives sound waves in two ways: one directly from the source and the other after reflection from a rigid boundary,as shown in the figure. The maximum wavelength for which the person will receive maximum sound intensity is .... $m$.
