Answer

The amplitude of the resultant wave is $~~0.52~m$

Work Step by Step

We can find the amplitude of the resultant wave: $y_m' = 2y_m~cos~\frac{\phi}{2}$ $y_m' = (2)(0.30~m)~cos~\frac{\pi/3}{2}$ $y_m' = (0.60~m)~cos~\frac{\pi}{6}$ $y_m' = 0.52~m$ The amplitude of the resultant wave is $~~0.52~m$
