Comprehension for Q. 52 and 53: One wave travelling along a stretched string is y 1 ( x , t ) = y m sin ( k x − ω t ) and another, shifted from the first, is y 2 ( x , t ) = y m sin ( k x − ω

Question

Comprehension for Q. 52 and 53: One wave travelling along a stretched string is $y_{1} (x, t) = y_{m} sin (k x - ω t)$ and another, shifted from the first, is $y_{2} (x, t) = y_{m} sin (k x - ω t + ϕ)$ . Both waves travel in the positive direction of the $x$ -axis with the same speed. Out of the three wave equations $y_{1} (x, t)$ , $y_{2} (x, t)$ and the resultant $y' (x, t)$ , which wave would you actually see on the string?

Options:

Answer:

A

Solution:

Only the resultant displacement of the string exists physically. $y_{1}$ and $y_{2}$ are not separately visible.
