Two waves overlap producing a new wave that exhibits destructive
interference. Which statement correctly describes the new wave?

A. It has a larger amplitude than the waves that overlapped to produce it.

B. It has a smaller amplitude than the waves that overlapped to produce it.

C. It has deeper troughs than the waves that overlapped to produce it.

D. It has taller crests than the waves that overlapped to produce it.

Respuesta :

Two waves overlap producing a new wave that exhibits destructive

interference will have a smaller amplitude than the waves that overlapped to

produce it.

Interference is a phenomenon which occurs when two waves travelling in

the same medium( which could be water, air etc) meet.  There are two types

of interference  namely:

  • Constructive interference.
  • Destructive interference.

The destructive interference involves the positive and negative

displacement canceling out which result in zero displacement or

amplitude.This fact validates option B which states that the new wave will

have smaller amplitude than the waves that overlapped to produce it.
