A wave of amplitude 0.60 m interferes with a second wave of amplitude 0.17 m traveling in the same direction.
(a) What is the largest resultant amplitude that can occur, and under what conditions will this maximum arise?
m
The two waves interfere destructively. The two waves interfere constructively.
(b) What is the smallest resultant amplitude that can occur, and under what conditions will this minimum arise?
m
The two waves interfere destructively. The two waves interfere constructively.
