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. the resulting wave has twice the amplitude than the original wave with the period being the same. 2. the result is a standing wave with 0 amplitude. 3. if teh period of one of the waves having the same amplitude is changed then more than one time period of the resultant wave changes, the amplitude changes too 4. whatever the amplitudes may be, the amplitude of the resultant wave is the sum of the amplitude of the 2 waves 5.when 2 waves add constructively, resultant amplitude is the sum of the amplitudes of the 2 waves when 2 waves add destructively, resultant amplitude is the difference of the amplitutes of the 2 waves.
