JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Mechanics Question Bank Interference and Superposition of Waves

  • question_answer
    If two waves of same frequency and same amplitude respectively, on superimposition produced a resultant disturbance of the same amplitude, the waves differ in phase by                             [MP PMT 1990; MP PET 2000]

    A)            p    

    B)            \[2\pi /3\]

    C)            \[\pi /2\]                                

    D)            Zero

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[{{A}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}+2{{a}^{2}}\cos \theta \Rightarrow \cos \theta =-\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow \theta =\frac{2\pi }{3}\]
