AIPMT PRELIMS 2001 Physics Superposition of Waves MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11

Two waves having equation x₁ = a sin(ωt + ϕ₁) x₂ = a sin(ωt + ϕ₂) If in the resultant wave the frequency and amplitude remains equals to amplitude of superimposing waves. Then phase diff. between them : -

A

π/6

B

2π/3

C

π/4

D

π/3

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

For the resultant amplitude to be equal to the amplitude of individual waves, the phase difference must be π/3.
