14.Waves and Sound
normal
Two waves of sound having intensities $I$ and $4I$ interfere to produce 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
A
$2I$
B
$4I$
C
$5I$
D
$7I$
Solution
$I(\phi)=I_{1}+I_{2}+2 \sqrt{I_{1} I_{2}} \cos \phi \ldots .(1)$
Here, $I_{1}=I$ and $I_{2}=4 I$ At point $A, \phi=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$I_{A}=I+4 I=5 I,$ At point $B, \phi=\pi$
$I_{B}=1+4 I-4 I=I, I_{A}-I_{B},=4 I$
