The resultant wave is given by:

y = y_{1} + y_{2} = A \sin \omega t + A \cos \omega t

= \sqrt 2 A (\sin \omega t \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt 2}+ \cos \omega t \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt 2})

= \sqrt 2 A (\sin \omega t \cos \frac{\pi }{4}+ \cos \omega t \sin \frac{\pi}{4})

= \sqrt 2 A \sin (\omega t + \frac{\pi}{4})

Hence the resultant amplitude = = \sqrt 2 A
