Question: Two transverse sinusoidal waves combining in a medium are described by the wave functions y 1 = 1 . 0 0 sin [ ( x

Two transverse sinusoidal waves combining in a medium are described by the wave functions
y1=1.00 sin[(x +0.500t)]y2=1.00 sin[(x 0.500t)]
where x, y1, and y2 are in centimeters and t is in seconds. Determine the maximum transverse position of an element of the medium at the following positions.
(a) x =0.180 cm
|ymax|= cm
(b) x =0.420 cm
|ymax|= cm
(c) x =1.40 cm
|ymax|= cm
(d) Find the three smallest values of x corresponding to antinodes. (Enter your answers from smallest to largest.)
