Answer:

\theta=145

Explanation:

The amplitude of he combined wave is:

B=2Acos(\theta/2)\\

A, is the amplitude from the identical harmonic waves

B, is the amplitude of the resultant wave

θ, is the phase, between the waves

The amplitude of the combined wave must be 0.6A:

0.6A=2Acos(\theta/2)\\ cos(\theta/2)=0.3\\\theta/2=72.5\\\theta=145
