Two waves are simultaneously passing through a string and their equations are:

y 1 = A 1 s i n k ( x v t ) , y 2 = A 2 s i n k ( x v t + x 0 ) . Given amplitudes A1 = 12mm and A2 = 5mm, x0 = 3.5 cm and wave number k = 6.28 cm-1. The amplitude of resulting wave will be________mm.

Phase difference between the two waves,

? = k x 0 = 6 . 2 8 * 3 . 5 = 7 π r a d              

Amplitude of resulting wave,

A = A 1 2 + A 2 2 + 2 A 1 A 2 c o s ?              

= 1 2 2 + 5 2 + 2 * 1 2 * 5 * c o s ( 7 π )
