Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Waves–I: Problem Problem_89

Two waves are described by \( y_1 = 0.30 \sin[\pi (5x - 200t)] \) and \( y_2 = 0.30 \sin[\pi (5x - 200t) + \pi/3] \), where \( y_1, y_2, \) and \( x \) are in meters and \( t \) is in seconds. When these two waves are combined, a traveling wave is produced. What are the (a) amplitude, (b) wave speed, and (c) wavelength of that traveling wave?
