Answer:
Explanation:
The amplitude of resultant wave as the result of overlap of two waves depends upon the phase difference between the two. If the waves meet crest to trough , the phase difference is 180 degree or they are in opposite phase . Hence they will destroy each other . The amplitude of resultant wave can be obtained by subtracting the amplitudes of two waves. They will interfere destructively.
Amplitude of resultant gives waves = 4.6 - 2 = 2.6 cm.
