The displacement of an elastic wave is given by the function $y= 3\ sin \omega t+4\ cos\omega t$, where $y$ is in $cm$ and $t$ is in $s$. The resultant amplitude is
A string of length $l$ is fixed at both ends and is vibrating in second harmonic. The amplitude at antinode is $2\ mm$. The amplitude of a particle at distance $l/8$ from the fixed end is :
Equations of a stationary wave and a travelling wave are $y _1=1\,sin(kx)\,cos (\omega t)$ and $y _2=a\,sin\,(\omega t-kx)$.The phase difference between two points $x _1=\dfrac{\pi}{3k}$ and $x _2=\dfrac{3 \pi}{2k}$ is $\phi _1$ for the first wave and $\phi _2$ for the second wave.The ratio $\dfrac{\phi _1}{\phi _2}$ is
