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?
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.
