11

Which part of the wave is changed when there is interference?

A
the amplitude
B
the crest
C
the trough
D
the wavelength
12

Does the resulting wave demonstrate destructive interference? Explain your answer.

Answer:

Yes, it demonstrates destructive interference. This occurs because the crest of one wave overlaps with the trough of another wave, causing the amplitudes to subtract from each other. As a result, the displacement of the resulting wave is smaller than the displacement of the original waves.

What did you include in your response? Check all that apply.

A
The diagram of the resulting wave does not demonstrate destructive interference.
B
With destructive interference, waves break each other down to form a smaller wave, or cancel each other out, resulting in no wave formation.
C
No wave formation is represented by a horizontal line.
