Answer:

if there is any phase between the waves this value is less

if the sine function is ±, the amplitude of the total wave is

A_total = A₁ + A₂ + A₃+ A₄ +A₅

Step-by-step explanation:

When several waves travel in the same direction, the process of adding them can take place.

y_total = ∑
y_(i)

where

y_{i} = A_{i} sin (k x - w t + Ф)

with fi the phase of each wave

To produce the largest possible result, all waves must come with the same phase

y_total = (A₁ + A₂ + A₃ + A₄ + A₅) sin (k x - wt)

if there is any phase between the waves this value is less

if the sine function is ±, the amplitude of the total wave is

A_total = A₁ + A₂ + A₃+ A₄ +A₅
