Practicing Success
Two coherent waves are represented by $y_1 = a_1\, \cos ωt$ and $y_2 = a_2\, \cos(\frac{π}{2}-ωt)$. Their resultant intensity after interference will be |
$a_1-a_2$ $a_1+a_2$ $a_1^2-a_2^2$ $a_1^2+a_2^2$ |
$a_1^2+a_2^2$ |
$y_1 = a_1\, \cos ωt;\,y_2 = a_2\, \cos(\frac{π}{2}-ωt)$ Since the two wave differ in phase by $\frac{p}{2}$ $y=a_1^2+a_2^2$ |
