Out of the given four waves $(1), (2), (3)$ and $(4)$:
$y = a \sin(kx + \omega t)$ ......$(1)$
$y = a \sin(\omega t - kx)$ ......$(2)$
$y = a \cos(\omega t - kx)$ ......$(3)$
$y = a \cos(kx + \omega t)$ ......$(4)$
emitted by four different sources $S_1, S_2, S_3$ and $S_4$ respectively,interference phenomena would be observed in space under appropriate conditions when:

  • A
    Source $S_1$ emits wave $(1)$ and $S_2$ emits wave $(2)$
  • B
    Source $S_3$ emits wave $(3)$ and $S_4$ emits wave $(4)$
  • C
    Source $S_2$ emits wave $(2)$ and $S_4$ emits wave $(4)$
  • D
    $S_4$ emits wave $(4)$ and $S_3$ emits wave $(3)$

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 $350 m/s$?

If two waves having amplitudes $2A$ and $A$ and same frequency and velocity,propagate in the same direction in the same phase,the resulting amplitude will be

When two sound waves having amplitude $3$ and $5$ units are superimposed,then the ratio of maximum to minimum intensity of the wave produced is:

Two identical coherent sound sources $R$ and $S$ with frequency $f$ are $5 \,m$ apart. An observer standing equidistant from the sources at a perpendicular distance of $12 \,m$ from the line $RS$ hears maximum sound intensity. When the observer moves parallel to the line $RS$ to a position directly in front of one of the sources,the sound intensity is a minimum. $A$ possible value of $f$ is close to ............ $Hz$ (the speed of sound is $330 \,m/s$).

There is a destructive interference between two waves of wavelength $\lambda$ coming from two different paths at a point. To get maximum sound or constructive interference at that point,the path of one wave is to be increased by
