Chapter 16, Problem 36P
Four waves are to be sent along the same string, direction:
y1(x, t) = (4.00 mm) sin(2πx − 400πt)
y2(x, t) = (4.00 mm) sin(2πx − 400πt + 0.7π)
y3(x, t) = (4.00 mm) sin(2πx − 400πt + π)
y4(x, t) = (4.00 mm) sin(2πx − 400πt + 1.7π).

Two sinusoidal waves travel in the
same direction with the same
amplitude, wavelength, and speed.
Their resultant wave function is
-
given by:y_res (x,t)=4cm sin(Kx-
wt+π/6).The amplitude, A, of each
of the original sinusoidal waves
producing the resultant wave is:
O 2√3 cm
O √3/2cm
O 2√3/3cm.
O 4√3/3cm
Four waves are traveling along the same string in the same direction. The expressions ofthose waves are
y1(x,t) = (4cm) cos ((2π)x - (10π)t)
y2(x,t) = (4cm) cos ((2π)x - (10π)t + π/2)
y3(x,t) = (4cm) cos ((2π)x - (10π)t + π)
y4(x,t) = (4cm) cos ((2π)x - (10π)t + 3π/2)
What is the amplitude of the resultant wave?
Two traveling sinusoidal waves interfere to produce a wave with the mathematical form
y(x,t) = Ym sin(kx +wt + a).
If the value of ø is appropriately chosen, the two waves might be:
A. Y1 (x,t) = (ym/3) sin(kx + wt) and y2(x,t) = (ym/3) sin(kx + wt + ø)
B. y1 (x,t) = 0.7ym sin(kx – wt) and y2(x,t) = 0.7ym sin(kx
C. y1 (x, t) = 0.7ym sin(kx – wt) and y2(x,t) = 0.7ym sin(ka + wt + ø)
D. y1 (x,t) = 0.7ym sin[(kæ/2) – (wt /2)] and y2(x,t) = 0.7ym sin[(kx/2) – (wt/2) + ø]
E. y1(x,t) = 0.7ym sin(kx + wt) and y2(x,t) = 0.7ym sin(kx + wt + o)
