14.Waves and Sound
normal
Two waves $Y_1=A_1 \sin \,(\omega t -\beta_1)$ and $Y_2 = A_2 \sin \,(\omega t -\beta_2)$ superimpose to form a resultant wave whose amplitude is
A
$\sqrt {A_1^2 + A_2^2 + 2{A_1}{A_2}\,\cos \,({\beta _1} - {\beta _2})} $
B
$\sqrt {A_1^2 + A_2^2 + 2{A_1}{A_2}\,\sin \,({\beta _1} - {\beta _2})} $
C
$A_1 + A_2$
D
$(A_1 + A_2)$
Solution
Phase difference between the superimposing waves is $\left(\beta_{1}-\beta_{2}\right)$
Resultant amplitude
$=\sqrt{\mathrm{A}_{1}^{2}+\mathrm{A}_{2}^{2}+2 \mathrm{A}_{1} \mathrm{A}_{2} \cos \left(\beta_{1}-\beta_{2}\right)}$
