Source one creates a wave with amplitude A and intensity
I0 at point P.
Source two creates a wave that has amplitude 2A at point P.
Waves one and two maximally constructively interfere at point
P.
The intensity at point P is IP.
What is the ratio of IP/I0 when waves one and
two are maximally constructively interfering at point P?
The two waves maximally constructively interfere at point P.
Hence the amplitude of the resulting wave at the point P = A + 2A = 3A
The intensity at a point is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave.
Therefore,
and
Dividing both to get the ratio,
Source one creates a wave with amplitude A and intensity I0 at point P. Source two...

BLOCK 10: I.A listener is standing in front of two speakers that are producing sound of the same frequeney and amplitude, except that they are vibrating out of phase a. Initially, the listener is at the same distance from each speaker (see the drawing). So, Ax- Therefore ф- Midpoint0.92 m and we know A 4.00 m 1,50m 1.50m So, the soundwaves interfere (constructively/destructively) and the sound at the mid-point is (soft/loud) b. As the listener moves sideways, the sound intensity...
Learning Goal: To gain an understanding of constructive and destructive interference. Consider two sinusoidal waves (1 and 2) of identical wavelength ?, period T, and maximum amplitude A. A snapshot of one of these waves taken at a certain time is displayed in the figure below. (Figure 1) Let y1(x,t) and y2(x,t) represent the displacement of each wave at position x at time t. If these waves were to be in the same location (x) at the same time, they...
You have two polarizers on an optical rail between an unpolarized light source (of intensity I0) and a detector. Polarizer 1 is oriented at an angle of θ1 = 40° from the horizontal, and polarizer 2 is oriented horizontally (θ2 = 0°). (a) What is the intensity of the light after it passes through only polarizer 1? Express your answer as a fraction or decimal in terms of I0 (i.e. I = 1⁄4 I0). (b) What is the intensity of...
