Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).

Question

Two progressive waves y1 (x, t) = A sin(4x – ot) and y2(x, t) = A sin(x – ot – ) travel in the same direction. Calculate the
amplitude of the wave produced as a result of interference of these two waves. Take A = 5 cm, 1 = 4 m and w = 31.4 Hz. Provide your
answer in centimeters.
