The similarity between sound waves and light waves is:

Equations of motion for two waves traveling in the same direction are given by $y_1 = 2a \sin(\omega t - kx)$ and $y_2 = 2a \sin(\omega t - kx - \theta)$. The resultant amplitude of the medium particle will be:

Write the equation of displacement of the resultant wave for two superposed waves with an initial phase difference.

Two sound waves having intensities $I$ and $4I$ interfere to produce an interference pattern. The phase difference between the waves is $\pi / 2$ at point $A$ and $\pi$ at point $B$. Then the difference between the resultant intensities at $A$ and $B$ is (in $I$)
