The amplitude and phase of a wave that is formed by the superposition of two harmonic travelling waves, $y_1(x, t) = 4 \sin (kx - \omega t)$ and $y_2(x, t) = 2 \sin (kx - \omega t + \frac{2\pi}{3})$, are:
(Take the angular frequency of initial waves same as $\omega$)
Two strings with circular cross section and made of same material, are stretched to have same amount of tension. A transverse wave is then made to pass through both the strings. The velocity of the wave in the first string having the radius of cross section R is $v_1$, and that in the other string having radius of cross section R/2 is $v_2$. Then $\frac{v_2}{v_1}$ =
The equation of a wave travelling on a string is y = sin[20πx + 10πt], where x and t are distance and time in SI units. The minimum distance between two points having the same oscillating speed is :
Two harmonic waves moving in the same direction superimpose to form a wave $x=\mathrm{a} \cos (1.5 \mathrm{t}) \cos (50.5 \mathrm{t})$ where t is in seconds. Find the period with which they beat. (close to nearest integer)
