The amplitude and phase of a wave that is formed by the superposition of two harmonic travelling waves,$y_1(x, t) = 4 \sin(kx - \omega t)$ and $y_2(x, t) = 2 \sin(kx - \omega t + \frac{2\pi}{3})$,are (Take the angular frequency of initial waves same as $\omega$):

Two small identical speakers are connected in phase to the same source. The speakers are $3 \,m$ apart and at ear level. An observer stands at $P, 4 \,m$ in front of one speaker as shown. The sound she hears is least intense when the wavelength is $\lambda_1$ and most intense when the wavelength is $\lambda_2$. Then,the possible values of $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are

Two simple harmonic waves having equal amplitudes of $8\,cm$ and equal frequency of $10\,Hz$ are moving along the same direction. The resultant amplitude is also $8\,cm$. The phase difference between the individual waves is $..................$ degree.

Two waves represented by $y_1 = 10 \sin(200\pi t)$ and $y_2 = 20 \sin(200\pi t + \pi/2)$ are superimposed at any point at a particular instant. The amplitude of the resultant wave is:

An observer receives waves directly from a source of sound distant $120\,m$ in a big hall. He also receives waves reflected from the mid-point of a $25\,m$ high ceiling. The wavelength of sound for constructive interference to take place between the two waves must be:
