Detailed Solution

Y = a\,\sin \,\omega t + a\sin \,(\omega t + \delta )\

= a\,2\,\sin \left( {\frac{{\omega t + \omega t + \delta }}{2}} \right)\cos \left( {\frac{{\omega t - (\omega t + \delta )}}{2}} \right)\

= 2a\,\cos \left( {\frac{\delta }{2}} \right)\sin \left( {\omega t + \frac{\delta }{2}} \right)

Phase angle of resultant wave is \frac{\delta }{2}\
