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

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

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

Answer:

No. The resulting wave has twice the amplitude of either original wave, so the waves combine constructively. Destructive interference would reduce the amplitude or cancel the 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.
