Two sound waves (expressed in $CGS$ units) given by $y_1 = 0.3 \sin \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}(vt - x)$ and $y_2 = 0.4 \sin \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}(vt - x + \theta)$ interfere. The resultant amplitude at a place where phase difference is $\pi/2$ will be .... $cm$.

The sources of sound $A$ and $B$ produce a wave of $350 Hz$ in the same phase. $A$ particle $P$ is vibrating under the influence of these two waves. If the amplitudes at $P$ produced by the two waves are $0.3 mm$ and $0.4 mm$,the resultant amplitude of the point $P$ will be,when $AP-BP=25 cm$ and the velocity of sound is $350 m s^{-1}$. (in $mm$)

Two waves of same frequency and intensity superimpose with each other in opposite phases,then after superposition the

Two generators $S_1$ and $S_2$ produce water waves of equal frequency. $A$ point $P$ is located such that $(S_1P - S_2P)$ is equal to half a wavelength. When operated alone,$S_1$ produces an oscillation of amplitude $2a$ at $P$,while $S_2$ produces an oscillation of amplitude $a$. If the generators are operated in phase,which graph correctly shows the resultant oscillation at $P$?

Three harmonic waves having equal frequency $v$ and same intensity $I_{0}$,have phase angles $0, \frac{\pi}{4}$ and $-\frac{\pi}{4}$ respectively. When they are superimposed,the intensity of the resultant wave is close to
