16.5 Exercise 13

Avg difficulty 2.5

Two sinusoidal waves, which are identical except for a phase shift, travel along in the same direction. The wave equation of the resultant wave is yR(x,t)=0.70msin(3.00m−1x−6.28s−1t+y_{R} \left(x , t\right) = 0.70 \text{m} \text{sin} \left(\right. 3.00 \text{m}^{−1} x - 6.28 \text{s}^{−1} t +
π/16rad).\pi / 16 \text{rad} \left.\right) . What are the angular frequency, wave number, amplitude, and phase shift of the individual waves?
