Chapter 17, Problem 96P
Four sound waves are to be sent through the same tube of air, in the same direction:
s1(x, t) = (9.00 nm) cos(2πx− 700πt)
s2(x, t) = (9.00 nm) cos(2πx− 700πt + 0.7π)
s3(x, t) = (9.00 nm) cos(2πx− 700πt+π)
s4(x, t) = (9.00 nm) cos(2πx− 700πt+ 1.7π).
What is the amplitude of the resultant wave? (Hint: Use a phasor diagram to simplify the problem.)
