41. If two perfect sine waves have the same frequency and the same phase, the composite wave

  1. Is a sine wave with an amplitude equal to the difference between the amplitude of the waves
  2. Is a sine wave with an amplitude equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the two original waves
  3. Is not a sine wave, but has the same frequency as the two input waves
  4. Has zero amplitude (ie, it does not exist) because the two input waves cancel each other out.

Correct answer: (B)
Is a sine wave with an amplitude equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the two original waves
