Two sinusoidal waves in a string are defined
by the wave functions with x and y in cm (so k
is in rad/cm) and t in s.
yı(x,t) = 2.10 sin (18.0x – 31.0t)
y2(x,t) = 2.10 sin (30.0x – 45.0t)
a) What is the phase difference between
these two waves at the point x1=5.00cm and
tj=2.00s? (Pick an angle between 0° and 360°.)
b) What is the positive x value closest to the
origin for which the two arguments differ by
+(2n+1)n at t1? At that location the two waves
destructively interfere. (Hint: it's not the n=0
case!)
