Question 8 • MS-Physical Science

Which situation would result in interference?

Answer
A
a wave bouncing off an object
B
a wave bending as it moves through an object
C
a wave scattering as it moves through an object
D
a wave increasing in energy as it hits another wave

Explanation

Interference occurs when two or more waves meet and combine. If they reinforce each other, the resulting wave has greater amplitude, which matches the situation described in D. Bending through an object is refraction, while bouncing off an object is reflection.
