Two waves of equal amplitude and frequency interfere with each other. The ratio of intensity when the two waves arrive in phase to that when they arrive $90^{\circ}$ out of phase is:

  • A
    $1 : 1$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2} : 1$
  • C
    $2 : 1$
  • D
    $4 : 1$

$A$ narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius $R,$ as shown in the figure. Two small holes $S$ and $D$ are made in the tube at positions right-angled to each other. $A$ source placed at $S$ generates a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts: one part travels along the longer path,while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the waves meet at point $D$ where a detector is placed. The maximum value of $\lambda$ to produce a minima at $D$ is given by

If two waves represented by $y_1 = 4 \sin \omega t$ and $y_2 = 3 \sin (\omega t + \pi / 3)$ interfere at a point,find the amplitude of the resultant wave.

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

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

The equations of two waves are given as
$\begin{aligned}
& y_1=a \sin \left(\omega t+\phi_1\right) \\
& y_2=a \sin \left(\omega t+\phi_2\right)
\end{aligned}$
If the amplitude and time period of the resultant wave are the same as those of the individual waves,then $(\phi_1-\phi_2)$ is
