Question

1- The second wave is phase shifted by +0.2 rad (a small amount) from the first wave. Which is true about the phasors?

a- The phasor for the first wave goes through the vertical orientation first. (The second-wave phasor lags the first-wave phasor in their rotations.)

b- The phasor for the second wave goes through the vertical orientation first. (The second-wave phasor is ahead of the first-wave phasor in their rotations.

2-Two waves travel through the observation point in the same direction. Which is true about the resultant wave?

a -The resultant wave will have the maximum possible amplitude if the phasors are perpendicular and the minimum possible amplitude if they are in opposite directions.

b- The resultant wave will have the maximum possible amplitude if the phasors are aligned and the minimum possible amplitude if they are in opposite directions.

c- The resultant wave will have the maximum possible amplitude if the phasors are aligned and the minimum possible amplitude if they are perpendicular.

3- If the two waves traveling through the observation point are exactly out of phase, which is true?

a- The phasors are aligned.

b- The phasors are in opposite directions.

c- The phasors are perpendicular.

4-Two waves, with different amplitudes, now travel through the point in the same direction. Which is true?

5-What is the orientation of the phasor when a wave valley travels through the point?

a- The phasor for the first wave goes through the vertical orientation first. (The second-wave phasor lags the first-wave phasor in their rotations.)
