Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If two waves of equal amplitude interfere destructively, what is the resultant amplitude?
  • Step 1: Understand that two waves can interfere with each other.
  • Step 2: Know that when waves interfere destructively, they cancel each other out.
  • Step 3: Recognize that 'equal amplitude' means both waves have the same strength or height.
  • Step 4: When two waves of equal amplitude interfere destructively, they completely cancel each other.
  • Step 5: Therefore, the resultant amplitude, which is the combined effect of the two waves, is zero.
