Two waves $Y_1 = A_1 \sin(\omega t - \beta_1)$ and $Y_2 = A_2 \sin(\omega t - \beta_2)$ superimpose to form a resultant wave whose amplitude is

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 $......\, m$.

Give noticeable points about the amplitude of resultant waves of two harmonic progressive waves on a stretched string.

Sound waves are passing through two routes—one in a straight path and the other along a semicircular path of radius $r$—and are again combined into one pipe and superposed as shown in the figure. If the velocity of sound waves in the pipe is $v$, then frequencies of resultant waves of maximum amplitude will be integral multiples of
