Answer:
Resultant amplitude = 1 unit.
Explanation:
The amplitude of a wave is its maximum displacement during propagation.
Since the two waves are out of phase, the resultant amplitude can be determine by;
Resultant amplitude, [tex]A_{R}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{A_{1} ^{2} + A_{2} ^{2} + 2A_{1} A_{2}cos \alpha }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{(A_{1} - A_{2} )^{2} }[/tex]
= [tex]A_{1}[/tex] - [tex]A_{2}[/tex]
where [tex]\alpha[/tex] is the phase difference.
Given that: [tex]A_{1}[/tex] = 75 units, [tex]A_{2}[/tex] = 74 units, so that;
[tex]A_{R}[/tex] = 75 - 74
= 1
The resultant amplitude of the two wave when out of phase is 1 unit.
