Two waves, each having a frequency of 100 Hz and a wavelength of 2·0 cm, are travelling in the same direction on a string.  the 

(a) at the same place, if the second wave was produced 0·015 s  after the first one then phase difference between the waves is απ rad .

(b) If the two waves were produced at the same instant but the first one was produced with a distance 4·0 cm behind the second one then phase difference between the waves is βπ rad .

(c) If each of the waves has an amplitude of 2·0 mm, then the amplitudes of the resultant waves in part (a) and (b) are γ mm and σ mm.

Find α+β+γ+σ.
