Question: Show that when the two waves of Eq. (7.5) are in-phase, the resulting amplitude squared is a maximum equal to (E 01 + E 02

Show that when the two waves of Eq. (7.5) are in-phase, the resulting amplitude squared is a maximum equal to (E01+ E02)2, and when they are out-of-phase it is a minimum equal to (E01- E02)2.

(7.5a) E1 = E01 sin (wt + aj) (7.5b) E2 = E02 sin (ot + a2)

(7.5a) E1 = E01 sin (wt + aj) (7.5b) E2 = E02 sin (ot + a2)
