Two sound waves each of intensity I are superimposed. If the phase difference between the waves is \(\frac{\pi}{2}\), then the intensity of the resultant wave is

  1. A 2 I
  2. B 3 I
  3. C 4 I
  4. D I
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2 I

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I_{res} = I_1 + I_2 + 2\sqrt{I_1 I_2} \cos(\phi)\) \(I_{res} = I + I + 2\sqrt{I \cdot I} \cos(\frac{\pi}{2})\) \(I_{res} = 2I + 2I \cdot 0\) \(I_{res} = 2I\)
