The standing waves are set up by the superimposition of two waves: `y_(1)=0.05 sin (15pit-x)`and `y_(2)=0.05 sin (15pit+x)`, where x and y are in metre and t in seconds. Find the displacement of particle at `x=0.5m.`

Answer» According to superposition principle, resultant displacement of stationary wave is given by
`y=y_(1)+y_(2)=0.05sin(15pit-x)`
`+0.05sin(15pit+x)`
`=0.05xx2sin((15pit-x+15pit+x)/(2))`
`cos((15pit+x-15pit+x)/(2))=0.1cosxsin15pit`
Amplitude of stationary wave, `2r=0.1cosx`
At `x=0.5m,`
`2r=0.1cos0.5=0.1cos((180^(@))/(pi))xx0.5`
`=0.1 cos 28.65^(@)=0.1xx0.88=0.088m`
