Properties of Waves

Question 12 • (OC27) Earth/Space Sci-2001310-S2-Nelson

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

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.
