Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Two waves have intensities I1=5 and I2=3. Calculate their resultant intensity for constructive and destructive interference.

๐Ÿ’ก Hint: Use the formulas for both cases appropriately.

Question 2

If a wave has a frequency of 500 Hz and a wavelength of 0.68 m, calculate the phase difference with another wave of the same frequency but with an additional path of 0.34 m.

๐Ÿ’ก Hint: Remember to relate the additional distance to the wavelength for phase calculations.
