A transverse periodic wave is represented by the equation y(x, t) = 1.50 cm sin(1,500 rad/s t - 10.0 x). Another transverse wave is represented by the equation y(x, t) = 1.50 cm sin(1,500 rad/s t - 10.0
x). What is the equation that represents the superposition of the two waves?
A. y(x, t) = 3.0 cm sin(1,500 rad/s t - 10.0x)
B. y(x, t) = 3.0 cm sin(1,500 rad/s t) cos(10.0x)
C. y(x, t) = +3.0 cm cos(1,500 rad/s t) sin(10.0x)
D. y(x, t) = 3.0 cm sin(1,500 rad/s t + 10.0x)
