Two small identical speakers are connected in phase to the same source. The speakers are $3 \,m$ apart and at ear level. An observer stands at $P, 4 \,m$ in front of one speaker as shown. The sound she hears is least intense when the wavelength is $\lambda_1$ and most intense when the wavelength is $\lambda_2$. Then,the possible values of $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are

  • A
    $\lambda_1=1 \,m$ and $\lambda_2=2 \,m$
  • B
    $\lambda_1=4 \,m$ and $\lambda_2=3 \,m$
  • C
    $\lambda_1=2 \,m$ and $\lambda_2=1 \,m$
  • D
    $\lambda_1=0.5 \,m$ and $\lambda_2=0.25 \,m$

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

Two waves are propagating to point $P$ along a straight line,produced by two sources $A$ and $B$ of simple harmonic motion and equal frequency. The amplitude of every wave at $P$ is $a$. The phase of $A$ is ahead by $\frac{\pi}{3}$ compared to $B$,and the distance $AP$ is greater than $BP$ by $50 \ cm$. If the wavelength is $1 \ m$,what will be the resultant amplitude at point $P$?

If $y_1 = 5 \text{ mm} \sin(\pi t)$ is the equation of oscillation of source $S_1$ and $y_2 = 5 \text{ mm} \sin(\pi t + \pi/6)$ is that of $S_2$,and it takes $1 \text{ s}$ and $0.5 \text{ s}$ for the transverse waves to reach point $A$ from sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ respectively,then the resulting amplitude at point $A$ is .... $\text{mm}$.
