    $\sqrt{A_1^2 + A_2^2 + 2A_1A_2 \cos(\beta_1 - \beta_2)}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{A_1^2 + A_2^2 + 2A_1A_2 \sin(\beta_1 - \beta_2)}$
  • C

Two waves are simultaneously passing through a string and their equations are:
${y}_{1} = {A}_{1} \sin {k}({x} - {vt}), {y}_{2} = {A}_{2} \sin {k}({x} - {vt} + {x}_{0}).$
Given amplitudes ${A}_{1} = 12 \, {mm}$ and ${A}_{2} = 5 \, {mm}$,${x}_{0} = 3.5 \, {cm}$,and wave number ${k} = 6.28 \, {cm}^{-1}$. The amplitude of the resulting wave will be $...... \, {mm}$.

The sources of sound $A$ and $B$ produce a wave of $350 Hz$ in the same phase. $A$ particle $P$ is vibrating under the influence of these two waves. If the amplitudes at $P$ produced by the two waves are $0.3 mm$ and $0.4 mm$,the resultant amplitude of the point $P$ will be,when $AP-BP=25 cm$ and the velocity of sound is $350 m s^{-1}$. (in $mm$)

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 $y_2 = A \cos[k(x + vt) + \phi]$.
