Question

what happens when you the following: Standing waves questions 1. Put two waves in phase with the same amplitude and period. What do you notice about the resulting wave? 2. Put two waves out of phase with the same amplitude and period. What do you notice about the resulting wave? 3. What happens if you have the same amplitude and phase, but change the period of one of the waves? 4. What happens if you have the same period and phase, but change the amplitude? 5. What general conclusions can you make about when waves constructively and destructively add together?

Explanation / Answer

1. Waves get added and amplitude is amplified . 2. Waves will cancel out each other. 3.there would be occurences of nodes at place where k*freq of first wave =M*freq of secnd wave 4. amplitude of waves will add up 5. constructive : amplitude increases destructive: amplitude decreases
