S(1) and S(2) are two sources of light ...

`S_(1)` and `S_(2)` are two sources of light which produce individually disturbance at point `P` given by `E_(1)=3sin omegat,E_(2)=4 cos omegat.` Assume `vec(E_(1))&vecE_(2)` to along the same line, find the resultant after their superposition.

To find the resultant electric field after the superposition of the two disturbances given by \( E_1 = 3 \sin(\omega t) \) and \( E_2 = 4 \cos(\omega t) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite \( E_2 \) in terms of sine We know that \( \cos(\omega t) \) can be expressed in terms of sine: \[ E_2 = 4 \cos(\omega t) = 4 \sin\left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{2}\right) \] This allows us to express both electric fields in terms of sine functions. ...
