The equations of two waves are given by
$y_{1}=5 \sin 2 \pi(x-v t) \, cm$
$y_{2}=3 \sin 2 \pi(x-v t+1.5) \, cm$
These waves are simultaneously passing through a string. The amplitude of the resulting wave is.........$cm$.

Two waves have equations $x_1 = a \sin(\omega t + \phi_1)$ and $x_2 = a \sin(\omega t + \phi_2)$. If in the resultant wave the frequency and amplitude remain equal to the amplitude of the superimposing waves,the phase difference between them is ........

Two waves represented by $y_1 = a \sin \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} (vt - x)$ and $y_2 = a \cos \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} (vt - x)$ are superposed. The resultant wave has an amplitude equal to

Two waves originating from $S_1$ and $S_2$,having zero initial phase difference and common wavelength $\lambda$,will show completely destructive interference at $P$,if $(S_1 P - S_2 P)$ is

There is a destructive interference between two waves of wavelength $\lambda$ coming from two different paths at a point. To get maximum sound or constructive interference at that point,the path of one wave is to be increased by
