JEE MAIN - Physics (2022 - 24th June Morning Shift - No. 12)

The equations of two waves are given by :

y1 = 5 sin 2$$\pi$$(x - vt) cm

y2 = 3 sin 2$$\pi$$(x $$-$$ vt + 1.5) cm

These waves are simultaneously passing through a string. The amplitude of the resulting wave is :

2 cm
4 cm
5.8 cm
8 cm

Explanation

$${y_1} = 5\sin (2\pi x - 2\pi vt)$$

$${y_2} = 3\sin (2\pi x - 2\pi vt + 3\pi )$$

$$\Rightarrow$$ Phase difference = 3$$\pi$$

$$ \Rightarrow {A_{net}} = \sqrt {A_1^2 + A_2^2 + 2{A_1}{A_2}\cos (3\pi )} $$

$$ \Rightarrow {A_{net}} = 2$$ cm
