Question

when waves traveling in the same medium meet, a new wave may be produced. use the slider to create the resulting wave with the largest amplitude. wave 1 wave 2 resulting wave wave 2 phase shift check

Explanation:

Step1: Recall wave - superposition principle

When two waves are in - phase, constructive interference occurs and the resulting wave has the largest amplitude.

Step2: Adjust the phase shift

Set the phase shift of Wave 2 to 0 (or a multiple of $2\pi$) so that Wave 1 and Wave 2 are in - phase. This will maximize the amplitude of the resulting wave.

Answer:

Set the Wave 2 Phase Shift slider to the position corresponding to a phase difference of 0 (or a multiple of $2\pi$ radians) between Wave 1 and Wave 2.
