Two sources of sound $A$ and $B$ produce waves of $350 Hz$,and they vibrate in the same phase. $A$ particle $P$ is vibrating under the influence of these two waves. If the amplitudes at point $P$ produced by the two waves are $0.3 mm$ and $0.4 mm$,what will be the resultant amplitude of the point $P$ when $AP - BP = 25 cm$ and the velocity of sound is $350 m/s$?

Two identical sinusoidal waves are moving in the same direction along a stretched string and interfere with each other. The phase difference between them is $120^{\circ}$. The amplitudes of both the waves are the same. If the amplitude of the resultant wave due to interference is $2 \,mm$, the amplitude of each wave is:
