When two sound waves with a phase difference of π/2, and each having amplitude A and frequency ω, are superimposed on each other, then the maximum amplitude and frequency of the resultant wave is :

(2) $\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}:\omega$

(3) $\sqrt{2}A:\frac{\omega }{2}$

(4) $\sqrt{2}A:\omega$

The minimum intensity of sound is zero at a point due to two sources of nearly equal frequencies, when :

1. Two sources are vibrating in opposite phase

2. The amplitude of the two sources are equal

3. At the point of observation, the amplitudes of two S.H.M. produced by two sources are equal and both the S.H.M. are along the same straight line

4. Both the sources are in the same phase

Two sound waves (expressed in CGS units) given by $y_1=0.3\sin \frac{2\pi }{\lambda }(vt-x)$ and $y_2=0.4\sin \frac{2\pi }{\lambda }(vt-x+\theta )$ interfere. The resultant amplitude at a place where the phase difference is π/2 will be :
