Question

This problem involves adding two waves with the same angular frequency. Please calculate the sum of the two waves ? = ?1+?2 given below and determine the amplitude and phase of the resulting wave (as a function of A1 and A2). A graphic or algebraic solution is acceptable:

A) ?1(r,t) = A1ei(-ωt)  ?2(r,t) = A2ei((π/2)-ωt)

B) ?1(r,t) = A1ei(-ωt)  ?2(r,t) = A2ei(π-ωt)

C) ?1(r,t) = A1ei(-ωt)  ?2(r,t) = A2ei((3π/2)-ωt)

D) ?1(r,t) = A1ei(-ωt)  ?2(r,t) = A2ei((2π)-ωt)

E) ?1(r,t) = A1ei(-ωt)  ?2(r,t) = A2ei((π/3)-ωt)
