Adding two sinusoids of the same frequency

Recall that adding two sinusoids of the same frequency but with possibly different amplitudes and phases, produces another sinusoid at that frequency.

$\scalebox{0.7}{\includegraphics{eps/sin_add.eps}}$

$\scalebox{0.8}{\includegraphics{eps/vect_add.eps}}$
What happens when the frequencies are different?
