Question 1

What is superposition in wave theory?

  • A cancellation of waves
  • The sum of waves at any point
  • A type of wave

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how waves interact rather than disappear.

Question 2

True or False: Destructive interference occurs when waves are in phase.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Two waves traveling in the same medium are described by the functions y1(x,t) = 3sin(2Ο€x - 4Ο€t) and y2(x,t) = 3sin(2Ο€x - 4Ο€t + Ο€). What is the resultant wave function?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how to combine these two wave functions, especially considering their phase.

Question 2

If the amplitude of two waves in phase is 5 units each, what is the amplitude of the resultant wave?

πŸ’‘ Hint: What happens when you add together identical waves that align perfectly?
