Two generators $S_1$ and $S_2$ produce water waves of equal frequency. $A$ point $P$ is located such that $(S_1P - S_2P)$ is equal to half a wavelength. When operated alone,$S_1$ produces an oscillation of amplitude $2a$ at $P$,while $S_2$ produces an oscillation of amplitude $a$. If the generators are operated in phase,which graph correctly shows the resultant oscillation at $P$?

Two waves originating from $S_1$ and $S_2$,having zero initial phase difference and common wavelength $\lambda$,will show completely destructive interference at $P$,if $(S_1 P - S_2 P)$ is

The amplitude of a wave,represented by the displacement equation $y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{a}} \sin \omega t \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{b}} \cos \omega t$,will be:

Two loudspeakers $L_1$ and $L_2$,driven by a common oscillator and amplifier,are arranged as shown. The frequency of the oscillator is gradually increased from zero,and the detector at $D$ records a series of maxima and minima. If the speed of sound is $330 \, m/s$,then the frequency at which the first maximum is observed is .... $Hz$.
