Question

A wave amplitude 0.36m interferes with a second wave of amplitude 0.22m traveling in the same direction. What is the largest resultant amplitude that can occur?

Answer 1

When you change the frequency to 17, the waves show an increase in amplitude over time, but this time only one crest and one trough appear at a time. A point in the middle hardly moves at all. If you wait long enough though, the amplitude returns to near zero again. This increase and decrease repeats if you watch long enough.

Answer 2

The largest resultant amplitude would be that created by constructive interference, basically when the two waves are of the same phase, so it would be 0.36m+0.22m= 0.58 m.
