Two identical sinusoidal waves each of amplitude \(10 \mathrm{~mm}\), with a phase difference of \(90^{\circ}\) are travelling with the same direction in a string. The amplitude of the resultant wave is

  1. A \(5 \mathrm{~mm}\)
  2. B \(10 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~mm}\)
  3. C \(5 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~mm}\)
  4. D \(20 \mathrm{~mm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(10 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~mm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, amplitudes of two waves are \(a_1=a_2=10 \mathrm{~mm}\) Phase difference, \(\phi=90^{\circ}\) Let \(A\) be the resultant amplitude, then by using expression, \(A=\sqrt{a_1^2+a_2^2+2 a_1 a_2 \cos \phi}\) Substituting the values, we get…
