y! 72 Two sinusoidal 120 Hz waves, of the same frequency and amplitude, are to be sent in the positive direction of an x axis that is directed along a cord un- der tension. The waves can be 10 20 sent in phase, or they can be phase-shifted. Figure 16-47 shows the amplitude y' of the re- sulting wave versus the distance of the shift (how far one wave is shifted from the other wave). The scale of the vertical axis is set by y', = 6.0 mm. If the equations for the two waves are of the form y(x, t) = ym sin(kx + wt), what are (a) ym, (b) k, (c) w, and (d) the correct choice of sign in front of w?
