Q.

The displacement equations of two interfering waves are given by 

y1=10sin(ωt+π3) cm

y2=5[sin(ωt)+3cos(ωt)] cm respectively.

The amplitude of the resultant wave is ________ cm.                    [2023]


Ans.

(20)

y2=5(sinωt+3cosωt)

=10sin(ωt+π3)

Thus the phase difference between the waves is 0

So A=A1+A2=20 cm
