If two waves y_1 = A (ω t - 0.1x) and y_2 = A ( - 0.1x - (φ)/(2))...
If two waves and y_2 = A\sin \left(\omegat -0.1x - \dfrac{\phi}{2}\right)are superimposed on each other, then the resultant amplitude due to superposition of waves is
Options
- AA\sqrt{2\left(1 + \cos\dfrac{\phi}{4}\right)}
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
The given waves are and y_2 = A\sin \left(\omega\dfrac{\phi}{2}\right).
The phase difference betweentwo waves is \Delta\phi = \dfrac{\phi}{2}.
The resultant amplitude of two superimposed waves is given by:
\sqrt{A_1^2 + A_2^2 + 2A_1A_2\cos(\Delta\phi)}
Substituting , \Delta\phi = \dfrac{\phi}{2}:
\sqrt{A^2 + A^2 + 2A^2\cos\left(\dfrac{\phi}{2}\right)}
\sqrt{2A^2\left(1 + \cos\dfrac{\phi}{2}\right)}
Using\theta =:
