Question
The equation of a standing wave is obtained by adding the displacements of two waves traveling in opposite directions (see figure). Assume that each of the waves has amplitude A,
period T, and wavelength 2. The models for two such waves are
Y₁ = A cos(2π(-)) and y2 = A cos(2π(+)).
Show that
Y₁ + y2 = 2A cos(2πt) cos(2πX).
Y₁ + y2 = A cos(2π( - )) +
= A[cos(2ý) cos(2π) + sin(2Ç) sin(2Ã¥)] + A[cos(2ý) cos(2¬¥) –
= 2A cos(2πt) cos(2x).
