Homework Statement
Determine the amplitude of the resultant wave when two sinusoidal waves having the same frequency and traveling in the same direction are combined, if their amplitudes are 3.0 cm and 4.0 cm and they differ in phase by [tex]\pi/2[/tex] rad
Homework Equations
y(x,t)=a*sin(kx-wt)
y(x,t)=b*sin(kx-wt+[tex]\phi[/tex])
[tex]\phi[/tex] phase difference
sin a + sin b = 2sin 1/2(a+b) . cos 1/2(a-b)
The Attempt at a Solution
Because the amplitudes are not the same couldn't solve it using the sum of sin.
