Two waves have the same amplitude $A$ and the same frequency $\omega$. If the phase difference between them is $\pi / 2$,what are the resultant amplitude and the resultant frequency when they superimpose at a point?

  • A
    $A / \sqrt{2}; \omega / 2$
  • B
    $A / \sqrt{2}; \omega$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2} A; \omega / 2$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2} A; \omega$
