Two waves have intensities $x$ and $y$. If the time difference between them is $3T/2$,what is the resultant intensity?

  • A
    $(\sqrt{x} - \sqrt{y})^2$
  • B
    $(\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{y} + \sqrt{xy})$
  • C
    $x + y + 2\sqrt{xy}$
  • D
    $\frac{x + y}{2\sqrt{xy}}$

$A$ person standing at a distance of $6\, m$ from a source of sound receives sound waves in two ways: one directly from the source and the other after reflection from a rigid boundary,as shown in the figure. The maximum wavelength for which the person will receive maximum sound intensity is .... $m$.

View Solution

Obtain the resultant wave of more than two wave functions by representing the superposition principle mathematically.

Two coherent sources of sound,$S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$,produce sound waves of the same wavelength,$\lambda = 1\, m$,in phase. $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ are placed $1.5\, m$ apart (see figure). $A$ listener,located at $L$,directly in front of $S_{2}$,finds that the intensity is at a minimum when he is $2\, m$ away from $S_{2}$. The listener moves away from $S_{1}$,keeping his distance from $S_{2}$ fixed. The adjacent maximum of intensity is observed when the listener is at a distance $d$ from $S_{1}$. Then,$d$ is $......\, m$.

Two waves of frequency $f$ and amplitude $a$ superimpose with each other. The total intensity is directly proportional to

Two waves of same frequency and intensity superimpose with each other in opposite phases,then after superposition the
