When waves traveling in the same medium meet, a new

wave may be produced. Use the slider to create the resulting

wave with the largest amplitude.

if there is any phase between the waves this value is less

if the sine function is ±, the amplitude of the total wave is

               A_total = A₁ + A₂ + A₃+ A₄ +A₅

Explanation:

When several waves travel in the same direction, the process of adding them can take place.

               y_total = ∑

     where

         y_{i} = A_{i} sin (k x - w t + Ф)

with fi the phase of each wave

       To produce the largest possible result, all waves must come with the same phase

                y_total = (A₁ + A₂ + A₃ + A₄ + A₅) sin (k x - wt)

if there is any phase between the waves this value is less

if the sine function is ±, the amplitude of the total wave is

               A_total = A₁ + A₂ + A₃+ A₄ +A₅
