Answer:
Height of resulting wave = 0.6 meters
Explanation:
Let the higher wave (wave crest) be A while the lower wave (wave trough) be B.
Given the following data;
A = 3.2m
B = 2.6m
To find the height of the resulting wave;
Height = A + B
But the lower wave becomes negative because it is below i.e on the lower trough.
Height = 3.2 + (-2.6)
Height = 3.2 - 2.6
Height of resulting wave = 0.6 meters
