Answer

The phase angle of the third wave should be $~~1.55~rad$

Work Step by Step

In part (b), we found that the phase angle of the resultant wave is $~~1.55~rad$ In order to maximize the amplitude, the third wave should be in phase with the resultant wave of the first two waves. Therefore, the phase angle of the third wave should be $~~1.55~rad$
