The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the properties of the two interfering waves and how they interact with each other. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the properties of the waves We have two waves that have: - Same wavelength (λ) - Same frequency (f) - Same amplitude (A) - They are traveling in the same direction but are 90 degrees out of phase. ### Step 2: Analyze the phase difference Since the two waves are 90 degrees out of phase, this means that when one wave is at its maximum (crest), the other wave is at its equilibrium position (zero displacement). This phase difference will affect how the waves combine. ### Step 3: Determine the resultant wave When two waves interfere, the resultant wave's amplitude can be calculated using the principle of superposition. For two waves that are 90 degrees out of phase: - The resultant amplitude (R) can be calculated using the formula: \[ R = \sqrt{A^2 + A^2} = \sqrt{2A^2} = A\sqrt{2} \] This shows that the amplitude of the resultant wave will be greater than the amplitude of the individual waves. ### Step 4: Consider the velocity and wavelength The velocity (v) and wavelength (λ) of the waves depend on the medium through which they are traveling. Since both waves are traveling in the same medium: - The velocity of the resultant wave will be the same as the individual waves. - The wavelength of the resultant wave will also remain the same as the individual waves. ### Conclusion Thus, the resultant wave will have the same wavelength and velocity as the individual waves, but the amplitude will change. ### Final Answer The resultant wave will have the same wavelength and velocity, but a different amplitude. ---
