A standing wave is the result of superposition of two harmonic waves given by the equations y1(x;t) =Asin(ωt - kx) and y2(x; t) = Asin(ωt + kx). The angular frequency is ω = 3π rad/s and the k = 2πrad/m is the wave number.(a) Give an expression for the amplitude of standing wave.
b) calculate the frequency of the wave
y2 = 0.01 sin(5rx+40rt),
O y1 = 0.04 sin(20x-320nt); y2 = 0.04 sin(20TDX-+320rt),
Two sinusoidal waves of wavelengthA = 2/3 m and amplitude A = 6 cm and
differing with their phase constant, are travelling to the right with same velocity v
= 50 m/s. The resultant wave function y_res (x,t) will have the form:
O y res (x,t) = 12(cm) cos(p/2) sin(3ttx+150rtt+p/2).
O y_res (x,t) = 12(cm) cos(p/2) sin(3nx-180nt+p/2).
y_res (x,t) = 12(cm) cos(p/2) sin(3nx-150nt+p/2).
O y res (x,t) = 12(cm) cos(p/2) sin(150rtx-3nt+p/2).
y_res (x,t) = 12(cm) cos(@/2) sin(150tx+3nt+p/2).
Two identical sinusoidal waves with wavelengths of 1.5 m travel in the same.

A wire of length L, = 30 cm has one end fixed and the other end welded to another wire, whose linear density of mass is 4 times smaller. The second wire passes through a
pulley and a mass of 10 kg is suspended by its other end. The distance L2 between the weld point and the pulley is 80 cm. A stationary wave is produced in the composite
wire, whose ends at the left wall and the pulley remain fixed. If the frequency is as low as possible and there is one node (node) at the solder point, what is the number of
nodes (nodes) of this stationary wave, including the nodes (nodes) at the left wall and the pulley?
