These two waves travel along the same string:

y1 = (3.54 mm) sin(2.43πx - 340πt)

y2 = (5.95 mm) sin(2.43πx - 340πt + 0.742πrad)

What are (a) the amplitude and (b) the phase angle (relative to wave 1) of the resultant wave? (c) If a third wave of amplitude 4.59 mm is also to be sent along the string in the same direction as the first two waves, what should be its phase angle in order to maximize the amplitude of the new resultant wave?

A wave of amplitude 0.55 m interferes with a second wave ofamplitude 0.47 m traveling in the same direction.

Two sinusoidal waves of the same period, with amplitudes of 5.0 and 7.0 mm, travel in the same direction along a stretched string; they produce a resultant wave with an amplitude of 9.0 mm.

The phase constant of the 5.0 mm-wave is 0. What is the phase constant of the 7.0 mm wave?
