Two parallel traveling plane waves have different angular frequencies w₁ and w2 and pressure amplitudes P₁ and P₂. (a) Show that the instantaneous energy density &; at a point in space varies between (P₁ + P₂)² / poc² and (P₁ – P₂)² / poc². (b) Show that the total energy density at the point averages to the sum of the individual energy densities of each wave alone. Hint: Let the averaging time be much greater than 2πT/W1 - W₂.
