Question

9. Wave A has a wavelength of 4.0 cm and an amplitude of 1.5 cm. Wave B has a
wavelength of 2.0 cm and an amplitude of 1.5 cm. On the grid below draw:

a) a scaled displacement-distance graph for wave A. Show two full waves
b) a scaled displacement-distance graph for wave B. Show two full waves
c) the resultant displacement-distance graph if wave A and wave B were sent in the
same direction in the same medium.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given:

Wavelength of first wave, $λ_{1} = 4.0 cm$

amplitude of first wave, $A_{1} = 1.5 cm$

Wavelength of second wave, $λ_{2} = 2.0 cm$

amplitude of second wave, $A_{2} = 1.5 cm$

To Find:

It is required to determine (a) the graph of first wave, (b) the graph of second wave, (c) the graph of resultant wave
