Two sound waves each of wavelength $\lambda$ and same amplitude $A$ interfere at point $Q$. If the path difference is $\frac{\lambda}{4}$, the amplitude of the resultant wave at point $Q$ is $[\sin \frac{\pi}{2} = 1, \cos \frac{\pi}{2} = 0]$

Two waves are propagating along a taut string that coincides with the $x$-axis. The first wave has the wave function $y_1 = A \cos[k(x - vt)]$ and the second has the wave function $y_2 = A \cos[k(x + vt) + \phi]$.

If two waves of the same frequency and amplitude on superposition produce a resultant disturbance of the same amplitude,the waves differ in phase by

If the phase difference between two waves is $2\pi$ during superposition,then the resultant amplitude is

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 $P$?
