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 $I$)

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $5$
  • D

When two progressive waves $y_1=4 \sin (2 x-6 t)$ and $y_2=3 \sin \left(2 x-6 t-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ are superimposed,the amplitude of the resultant wave is

Two coherent sources of sound,$S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$,produce sound waves of the same wavelength,$\lambda = 1\, m$,in phase. $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ are placed $1.5\, m$ apart (see figure). $A$ listener,located at $L$,directly in front of $S_{2}$,finds that the intensity is at a minimum when he is $2\, m$ away from $S_{2}$. The listener moves away from $S_{1}$,keeping his distance from $S_{2}$ fixed. The adjacent maximum of intensity is observed when the listener is at a distance $d$ from $S_{1}$. Then,$d$ is $......\, m$.

Obtain the resultant wave of more than two wave functions by representing the superposition principle mathematically.
