Two identical sinusoidal waves of amplitude A and frequency 10 Hz travel in the same direction at a speed of 15 m/s. The second wave originates from the same point as the first (x_(0,1)=x_(0,2)=x_o), but at a later time (t_(0,2)>t_(o,1)). If the amplitude of the resultant wave due to interference is equal to A/3, then the minimum possible time interval, At_o between the starting moments of the two waves is: O (1/60) sec O (1/40) sec O 0.045 sec O (1/30) sec
