To find the amplitude of the resultant wave formed by the superposition of two waves given by the equations \( y_1 = a \sin(\omega t - kx) \) and \( y_2 = a \sin(\omega t - kx + \frac{2\pi}{3}) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Phase Difference The two waves have a phase difference \( \phi \) given by the term \( \frac{2\pi}{3} \) in the second wave. ### Step 2: Use the Formula for Resultant Amplitude The formula for the amplitude \( A_r \) of the resultant wave when two waves of the same amplitude \( A \) interfere with a phase difference \( \phi \) is given by: \[ ...
