Homework Statement
Hi
Two wave superposition with different wavelength , amplitude and frequency
u1(x,t)=A1cos(k1x+w1t)
u2(x,t)=A2cos(k2x+w2t)
a)Show that an amplitude modulation is obtained
Homework Equations
No relevant equations
The Attempt at a Solution
u=u1+u2=A1cos(k1x+w1t)+A2cos(k2x+w2t)
and now i don't know what to do, is there any way to relate A1 and A2
I searched in the internet and I found Fresnell method which can solve it for two waves of the tipe:
u1=u2=A1cos(w1t)
u2=A1cos(w2t)=A1cos(w1t+phi)
but in my case I don't think I can do that because there are 2 variables in the cos
Its my first post so thanks
pd: sorry for my bad english
