Four different independent waves are represented by $(i)$ $y_1 = a_1 \sin \omega t$,$(ii)$ $y_2 = a_2 \sin 2\omega t$,$(iii)$ $y_3 = a_3 \cos \omega t$,and $(iv)$ $y_4 = a_4 \sin (\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3})$. With which two waves is interference possible?

Given below are some functions of $x$ and $t$ to represent the displacement (transverse or longitudinal) of an elastic wave. State which of these represent $(i)$ a travelling wave,$(ii)$ a stationary wave or $(iii)$ none at all:
$(a)$ $y = 2 \cos(3x) \sin(10t)$
$(b)$ $y = 2 \sqrt{x - vt}$
$(c)$ $y = 3 \sin(5x - 0.5t) + 4 \cos(5x - 0.5t)$
$(d)$ $y = \cos x \sin t + \cos 2x \sin 2t$

Diffraction of sound waves is more evident than light waves in daily life because:

$A$ parallel beam of light is incident on a tank filled with water up to a height of $61.5 \,mm$ as shown in the figure below. Ultrasonic waves of frequency $0.5 \,MHz$ are sent along the length of the water column using a transducer placed at the top and they form longitudinal standing waves in the water. Which of the schematic plots below best describes the intensity distribution of the light as seen on the screen? (Take the speed of sound in water to be $1500 \,m/s$)

$A$ transverse sinusoidal wave of amplitude $a,$ wavelength $\lambda,$ and frequency $n$ is travelling on a stretched string. The maximum speed of any point on the string is $v/10,$ where $v$ is the speed of propagation of the wave. If $a = 10^{-3} \ m$ and $v = 10 \ m/s,$ then $\lambda$ and $n$ are given by:

$A$ clamped string is oscillating in the $n^{th}$ harmonic,then
