Echo is an example of constructive interference. Constructive interference occurs when two waves combine to produce a wave with a larger amplitude. In the case of an echo, the original sound wave and its reflection combine to create a louder sound. Destructive interference, on the other hand, occurs when two waves combine to produce a wave with a smaller amplitude.

An example of interference of light is when two light waves meet and overlap, leading to either reinforcement (constructive interference) or cancellation (destructive interference) of the waves. This can result in the creation of patterns, such as in the famous double-slit experiment where interference of light waves produces an interference pattern on a screen.
Constructive interference.
Another name for it is wave interference.
Constructive interference occurs when waves align to increase amplitude, while destructive interference occurs when waves align to decrease amplitude. Constructive interference results in a larger combined amplitude, while destructive interference results in a smaller combined amplitude, or even complete cancellation.
When waves combine, it is called interference. Interference can result in either reinforcement (constructive interference) or cancellation (destructive interference) of the waves, depending on their alignment and relative amplitudes.
Constructive interference occurs when waves meet crest to crest or trough to trough, resulting in a stronger wave that is the sum of the individual waves.
The combining of waves as they meet is known as interference. Interference can result in either constructive interference, where the waves amplify each other, or destructive interference, where the waves cancel each other out.

To determine if the diagram produces constructive or destructive interference, we need to consider the phase relationship between the waves. If the waves are in phase (aligned peaks and troughs), they will produce constructive interference. If they are out of phase (opposite peaks and troughs aligning), they will produce destructive interference.
