  4. Sir I didn't understand the -phi in y2. Can you pls elaborate: y2=A2sin(w(t-phi/w)) , y2=0 at t=phi/w which is the time at which wave 2 reaches the point P so is wave 2 phi/w seconds ahead or behind?

  6. how can we add both the displacements directly. if they are in different direction so it should be vector sum right?

  12. why we have taken (-)phi not (+) phi
    8 years ago by Faizan Ali Saiyed
    Ans 1 ->
    Substitute phi as w(delta t). That is, y2 = A2Sin(w(t - delta t)). Now, since wave 2 would be starting the same way wave 1 did delta t seconds before wave 2 arrives, we have t - delta t and not t delta t

  20. how can we write (A1+A2cosphi)=Rcostheta and A2sinphi=Rsintheta. there should be a relation between(A1+A2cosphi) and A2sinphi ?
    9 years ago by sudeep khare
    Ans 1 ->
    In both equations these are constant values A1, A2 and phi and we are expressing these constants in terms of other constants R and theta... relation among constant is also calculated further in the video...

    Ans 2 ->
    I found to easier to think of it as working backwards: Let R be defined as R = sqrt(A1^2 A2^2 2A1A2cos(phi)). Now since (A1 A2cos(phi))^2 (A2sin(phi)^2) = R^2, we can now write that (A1 A2cos(phi)) = Rcos(theta) and A2sin(phi) = Rsin(theta) where tan(theta) = A2sin(phi)/(A1 A2cos(phi)) We could also have written that (A1 A2cos(phi)) = Rsin(beta) and A2sin(phi) = Rcos(beta), but by convention, cos is used for the former and sin for the latter. Writing it this way makes the final expression easier to remember and less congested.

  22. is there any website for maths video lectures similar to physics galaxy? Please post it in comments if any
    9 years ago by Bharath Ram
    Ans 1 ->
    There is no site like PG in maths but for reference you can use khanacademy.org or educator.com
    9 years ago by Physics Galaxy
    Ans 2 ->
    For chemistry you can use gabbarsingh tutorials on youtube.
