41. If two perfect sine waves have the same frequency and the same phase, the composite wave
- Is a sine wave with an amplitude equal to the difference between the amplitude of the waves
- Is a sine wave with an amplitude equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the two original waves
- Is not a sine wave, but has the same frequency as the two input waves
- 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
