Two sound waves each of wavelength $\lambda$ and same amplitude $A$ interfere at point $Q$. If the path difference is $\frac{\lambda}{4}$, the amplitude of the resultant wave at point $Q$ is $[\sin \frac{\pi}{2} = 1, \cos \frac{\pi}{2} = 0]$

The similarity between sound waves and light waves is:

The resultant amplitude due to the superposition of two waves $y_1 = 5 \sin (\omega t - kx)$ and $y_2 = -5 \cos (\omega t - kx - 150^{\circ})$ is:
