Givens:
The phase difference is 0, 0.2 λ , or 0.5 λ between the waves.
Part a:
since the amplitude of the wave is directly proportional to the average rate so that the waves ill transport greater energy when ϕ = 0
ϕ = 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 a v g = 2 P a v g , 1
Result:
(a) ϕ = 0
(b) P a v g = 2 P a v g , 1
