direction with amplitudes A and 2 A and differing in phase by
π/3 rad superpose. Calculate the amplitude of the resultant
wave.
Suppose that two waves traveling in the same direction and with the same amplitude on a rope are interfered with. Let the amplitude of each wave be 9.8 mm and the phase difference of the two waves be 100 °.
a) What is the amplitude of the total interfering wave and give information about the type of interference.
b) What phase difference does two waves produce a total wave of 4.9 mm in amplitude ?
