This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Wave functions y= 2cos2 (10t-0.0080x + 3.5)
= 2cos(20 )
Now standard equation of travelling wave can be written as
Y= a cos (wt-kx+ )
So by comparing with above equation
a= 2cm
w=20
k=0.016
path difference =4cm
(a) phase difference path difference
(e) T= /w=2 /20
At x=100cm
t=T
=20
= 20
Again at x=100cm t=5s
=20
=100
From above two equation phase difference
=(100 )-
= 100

.
Both points B and G are moving up and are at same distance from equilibrium position at the instant.
Equation of component waves are
y = Asin (ωt – kx) and y = Asin (ωt + kx)
So speed of component wave is (ω/k).
