    Two waves are passing through a region inthe same direction at the same time. If theequations of these waves are \[\left[ M{{L}^{-2}}{{A}^{-2}} \right]\]And            \[\left[ M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}{{A}^{-2}} \right]\] then, the amplitude of the resulting wave for \[\left[ M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}{{A}^{-2}} \right]\]is

    A) \[\left[ M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-3}}{{A}^{-2}} \right]\]                                  

    B) \[\frac{3}{2}m{{r}^{2}}\]

    C) \[\frac{m{{r}^{2}}}{2}\]                

    D) \[\frac{3}{8}m{{r}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Let \[{{\phi }_{1}}\] and \[{{\phi }_{2}}\] represent angles of the first and second waves, then \[{{\phi }_{2}}=\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }[(vt-x)+{{x}_{0}}]\] and        \[{{\phi }_{1}}=\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }(vt-x)\] But         \[{{x}_{0}}=\frac{\lambda }{2}\]                                \[\therefore \]  \[{{\phi }_{2}}-{{\phi }_{1}}=\pi \] Hence, phase difference, \[\phi =\pi .\]So, amplitude of the resultant wave \[R=\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+2ab\,\cos \phi }\]                 \[=\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+2ab\,\cos \pi }=\sqrt{{{(a-b)}^{2}}}=a-b\] or            \[R|a-b|\]
