Two waves of frequency \(f\) and amplitude \(a\) superimpose with each other. The total intensity is directly proportional to

  1. A \(a\)
  2. B \(2 a\)
  3. C \(2 a^2\)
  4. D \(4 a^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(4 a^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When two waves of same frequency \(f\) and having same amplitude \(a\) superimpose, then resultant amplitude, \(A=a+a=2 a\) Total intensity \(I\) of resultant wave is directly proportional to square of amplitude.…
