The amplitude of a wave represented by displacement equation `y=(1)/(sqrta)sinomega+-(1)/(sqrtb)cosomegat` will be

A

`(a+b)/(ab)`

B

`(sqrta+sqrtb)/(ab)`

C

`(sqrta+-sqrtb)/(ab)`

D

`sqrt((a+b)/(ab))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

Assume `1//sqrt(a)=A cos theta`
`(1)/sqrt(b)=A sin theta`
On simplifying, we get `y=A sin(omegat+theta)`
squaring and adding Eqs. (i) and (ii) `A=sqrt((a+b)/(ab))`
