s'ajoutant l'une à l'autre


Explanation:
J'ai l'impression que le texte source dit deux fois la même chose.. ce n'est pas un terme technique, en tout cas !
La redondance vient du fait que, en mathématiques, l'addition est symmétrique (a+b=b+a), mais la grammaire ne reflète pas toujours cette idée (on "ajoute a à b").

L'idée est simplement que les deux ondes s'ajoutent. Je propose donc de changer un peu la structure grammaticale..
