Four harmonic waves of equal frequencies and equal intensities I0{I}_{0} have phase angles 0,π3,2π30, \dfrac{\pi}{3}, \dfrac{2\pi}{3} and π\pi . When they are superposed, the intensity of the resulting wave is nI0n{I}_{0} . The value of nn isFour harmonic waves of equal frequencies and equal intensities I _ 0 have phase angles 0, (π)/(3), (2π)/(3) and π .

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Let amplitude of individual wave is A
Then by using phasor method

Four harmonic waves of equal frequencies and equal intensities I _ 0 have phase angles 0, (π)/(3), (2π)/(3) and π .
So resultant amplitude Ar2=A2+A2+2a2cos⁡60{A}_{r}^{2} = {A}^{2} + {A}^{2} + 2{a}^{2}\cos 60
∴Ar2=3A2∴ {A}_{r}^{2} = 3{A}^{2}
∴Ir=3I0∴ {I}_{r} = 3{I}_{0}
