If two waves having amplitudes $2A$ and $A$ and same frequencies and velocities, propagate in the same direction in the same phase, the resulting amplitude will be
  1. $3A$
  2. $\sqrt{5}A$
  3. $\sqrt{2}A$
  4. $A$

Solution

In the same phase, $\phi = 0$. So, resultant amplitude $= a_1 + a_2 = 2A + A = 3A$
