Question

Two waves traveling on a string in the same direction have frequency 100 Hz, wavelength 2 cm, and amplitude 0.02 m. They differ in phase by 60 degrees. What is the amplitude of the resultant wave?
Options
A 0.028 m
B 0.035 m
Correct Answer
C 0.045 m
D 0.055 m
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

A_result=2A cos(phi/2)=2(0.02)cos(30)=0.0346m.

Hint

A_result=2A cos(phi/2)=2(0.02)cos(30)=0.0346m.
