Question
Two waves,
y
1
=
A
sin
[
k
(
x
−
c
t
)
]
and
y
2
=
A
sin
[
k
(
x
+
c
t
)
]
are superposed on a string. Find the distance between adjacent nodes.

Solution
Resultant motion will be
y
=
y
1
+
y
2
=
A
[
sin
(
k
(
x
−
c
t
)
)
+
sin
(
k
(
x
−
c
t
)
)
]
⇒
y
=
2

⇒
y
=

Here
A
′
=
2
A
sin
k
x
=New amplitude of the superpose motion. Node means the position of
x
for which
A
′
will be zero.
So,
A
′
=
0
⇒
