Two waves travelling in a medium in the ...

Two waves travelling in a medium in the x-direction are represented by `y_(1) = A sin (alpha t - beta x)` and `y_(2) = A cos (beta x + alpha t - (pi)/(4))`, where `y_(1)` and `y_(2)` are the displacements of the particles of the medium `t` is time and `alpha` and `beta` constants. The two have different :-

A

speeds

B

directions of propagation

C

wavelengths

D

If: sin^(-1)x = alpha + beta and sin^(-1)y = alpha - beta , then: 1+xy =

The displacement of a particle in a medium due to a wave travelling in the x- direction through the medium is given by y = A sin(alphat - betax) , where t = time, and alpha and beta are constants:

If x cos alpha + y sin alpha = x cos beta + y sin beta = 2a then cos alpha cos beta =

If x = sin alpha, y = sin beta, z = sin (alpha + beta) then cos (alpha + beta) =
