Answer:
The resultant amplitude of the two waves is 2.65.
Explanation:
Given;
amplitude of the first wave, A₁ = 1
amplitude of the second wave, A₂ = 2
phase difference of the two amplitudes, θ = 60.0°.
The resultant amplitude of two waves after interference is given by;
[tex]A = \sqrt{A_1^2 + A_2^2 + 2A_1A_2Cos \theta} \\\\A = \sqrt{1^2 + 2^2 + 2(1)(2)Cos 60} \\\\A= 2.65[/tex]
Therefore, the resultant amplitude of the two waves is 2.65.
