Answer:
a) Ф = 0
b) P_avg=2*P_avg,1
Explanation:
Givens:
The phase difference is 0, 0.2λ, or 0.5λ between the waves.
Part a:
since the amplitude of the wave is directly proportional to the average rate so that the waves will transport greater energy when Ф = 0
Part b:
The two waves are identical to the first wave, the net amplitude is twice the first waves and the travel in the same tube thus
P_avg=2*P_avg,1
