16.6 Exercise 12

Avg difficulty 2.5

Consider two wave functions y(x,t)=0.30cmsin(3m−1x−4s−1t)y \left(x , t\right) = 0.30 \text{cm} \text{sin} \left(3 \text{m}^{−1} x - 4 \text{s}^{−1} t\right) and y(x,t)=0.30cmsin(3m−1x+4s−1t)y \left(x , t\right) = 0.30 \text{cm} \text{sin} \left(3 \text{m}^{−1} x + 4 \text{s}^{−1} t\right). Write a wave function for the resulting standing wave.
