If two sinusoids of the same frequency but of different amplitudes and phase angles are subtracted, the resultant is____________?

Correct answer: A. a sinusoid of the same frequency

  • A. a sinusoid of the same frequency
  • B. a sinusoid of half the original frequency
  • C. a sinusoid of double the frequency
  • D. not a sinusoid

Explanation

The difference of two sinusoids having the same frequency can be combined into one sinusoid of that same frequency, with a new amplitude and phase angle. Subtraction changes the phase and magnitude, not the frequency.
