Two waves \( y_1 = 3 \sin (8x - 16t) \) and \( y_2 = 3 \sin (8x - 16t + \frac{2\pi}{3}) \) interfere. What is the amplit
**Doppler effect** describes apparent frequency shift due to relative motion between source and observer, f' = f·v/(v ∓ v_s) for source motion, f' = f·(v ± v_o)/v for observer motion, upper signs for approach increasing observed frequency. Motion towards observer compresses wavelength raising f'. Amplitude: A = 2a cos (Φ/2) , a = 3 m , Φ = (2π/3) . A = 2 × 3 cos (π/3) = 6 × (1/2) = 3 m . Using v = fλ and standing-wave condition fₙ = n v/(2L) or v/(4L) as applicable, calculation yields 3 m, illustrating frequency-length-speed interdependence and quantization by boundaries.
