Intensity and Superposition of waves...
Incident wave y=Asin(ax + bt + pi/2) is reflected by an obstacle at x=0 which reudces intensity of reflected wave by 36%. Due to superposition a resulting wave consist of standing wave and traveling wave given by y= -1.6 sinax.sinbt + cAcos(bt+ax)
Find amplitude of reflected wave, value of c and position of second antinode...
Intensity is proportional to amplitude square...
Now how are they getting this type of a n equation and what do they mena by a wave consisting of a standing as well as a traveling wave at the same time? i want help in finding out the value of these constants...All i got is amplitude of the reflected wave is 3/5 times the incident waves' amplitude...(By Intensity is proportional to amplitude square...)...Thats it... please help...
