Two waves are propagating to the point P along a straight line produced by two sources A and B of simple harmonic and of equal frequency. The amplitude of every wave at P is `a` and the phase of A is ahead by `pi//3` than that of B and the distance AP is greater than BP by `50 cm`. Then the resultant amplitude at the point P will be if the wavelength `1` meter
