Explanation / Answer

Amplitude A1 = 0.38 m and Amplitude A2 = 0.13 m, So

a) The largest amplitude can occur if the waves interfere constructively and the resultant largest amplitude is

AL = A1 + A2 = 0.38 + 0.13 = 0.51 m.

b) The smallest amplitude can occur if the waves interfere destructively and the smallest amplitude is

AS = |A1 - A2| = |0.38 - 0.13| = 0.25 m.
