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 $...... \, {mm}$.

Two sound waves each of wavelength $\lambda$ and having the same amplitude $A$ from two sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ interfere at a point $P$. If the path difference $S_2P - S_1P = \lambda/3$,then the amplitude of the resultant wave at point $P$ will be $[\cos(120^{\circ}) = -0.5]$.

When two light waves each of amplitude $A$ and having a phase difference of $\frac{\pi}{2}$ are superimposed,the amplitude of the resultant wave is:

Three waves of equal frequency having amplitudes $10 \,\mu m, 4 \,\mu m$ and $7 \,\mu m$ arrive at a given point with successive phase difference of $\frac{\pi}{2}$. The amplitude of the resulting wave in $\mu m$ is given by

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 $P$?

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 $\omega$):
