If two waves traveling in opposite directions interfere constructively, what is the result?
  1. A smaller amplitude wave
  2. A larger amplitude wave
  3. No wave
  4. A standing wave

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If two waves traveling in opposite directions interfere constructively, what is the result?
  • Step 1: Understand that waves can travel in different directions.
  • Step 2: Know that when two waves meet, they can interfere with each other.
  • Step 3: Identify that constructive interference happens when the peaks (high points) of both waves align.
  • Step 4: Realize that when the peaks align, they combine to create a new wave.
  • Step 5: Understand that this new wave has a larger amplitude than the individual waves.
