What is "standing" in a standing wave? 3. The reflected wave cancels out the vibration of the incident wave at the nodes. What happens to the energy at node positions? 4.

Two identical point sources are generating waves with the same frequency and amplitude. The two sources are in phase with each other, so the two sources generate wave crests at the same instant. The wavelength of the waves is equal to the distance between the two sources. A. List all the labeled points where the waves from the two sources constructively interfere. If there are no such points, indicate that by stating "none". Separate each letter with a space. Hint: Determine the difference in the distance that each wave travels from the point sources. For example the difference between the distance travelled to B = 1.5λ - 0.5λ. Constructive interference occurs at ΔL=nλ. Destructive occurs at ΔL=nλ/2. B. List all the labeled points where the waves from the two sources destructively interfere. If there are no such points, indicate that by stating "none". Separate each letter with a space. Hint: Constructive occurs at ΔL=nλ. Destructive occurs at L=ΔL=nλ/2.

You may find it helpful to plot these graphs on your own. If you do it by hand, you will gain even more insight. a. The graph that corresponds to y2 is b. The graph that corresponds to the superstition of y1 and y2 is c. The graph that corresponds to y1 is Based on the graph you made for the superposition of y1 and y2, would you consider the superposition to be simple harmonic oscillation? Why or why not. a. Yes. It keeps returning to the equilibrium position. b. No. It is not a simple sine or cosine curve. c. No. Waves and simple harmonic oscillation are two unrelated phenomena. d. Yes. The pattern clearly repeats regularly
