A wave with an amplitude of 1.94 m interferes with a second wave with an amplitude of 0.85 m. What is the largest resulting wave that could occur if these two waves destructively interfere?
To find the largest resulting wave when two waves destructively interfere, we need to subtract the amplitude of one wave from the amplitude of the other wave.
In this case, the wave with the larger amplitude is 1.94 m, and the wave with the smaller amplitude is 0.85 m. Since we want destructive interference, we subtract the smaller amplitude from the larger amplitude.
1.94 m - 0.85 m = 1.09 m
Therefore, the largest resulting wave that could occur when these two waves destructively interfere is 1.09 m.
