- We consider two sound waves with different frequencies which have to the same amplitude. The wave functions of these waves are as follows: y1 (t) = A sin (2πf1t) y2 (t) = A sin (2πf2t) 5. Find the resultant wave function analytically. 6. Study how the resulting wave behaves in time. 7. Using any computer program, construct the wave dependency graph resultant y (t) from time t in the case when the frequencies of the two sound waves are many next to each other if the values are given: A = 1 m, f1 = 1000 Hz and f2 = 1050 Hz. Comment on the results from the graph and determine the value of the time when the waves are with the same phase and assemble constructively and the time when they are with phase of opposite and interfere destructively. 8.
