Constructive interference occurs when the crests of one wave overlap the crests of another wave What is the result of constructive interference?

In a regime of linear propagation (that is almost in any case covered by normal experience) two waves sharing the same space (for example two light waves or two sound waves) generate a third wave (called interference wave) whose amplitude is the sum of the original waves amplitudes and whose phase is the sum of the original waves phases. If we evaluate the power of the interference wave it is not the sum of the original powers, but it strongly depends on the phases of the original waves. In particular if the total phase in a point and in an instant is 90° (pi/2) the total power is minimum: it is equal to the difference between the powers of the original waves, that is zero if they had the same power and destructive interference happens. On the contrary if the sum of the original phases is zero the total power is maximum: twice the sum of the original powers, that is four time the power of one wave if the initial powers were equal and constructive interference is said to happen.


Which color light has maximum energy?

The amount of energy is directly proportional to the frequency of the light. Since violet has the greatest frequency, it also has the maximum energy and red has the least.


The pitch of the sound is increased. What difference will this make to the way the ear drum vibrates?

What is amplitude and frequency of a wave?

The amplitude is the maximum displacement. The frequency is the number of peaks (or troughs) that occur in unit time (usually a second).


What is the difference between stimulus frequency and stimulus strength?

<P> <P>The stimulus frequency is how often the stimulus is admitted. For example, every 30 seconds, every minute and 1/2, etc. <P>Stimulus strength describes the level of force used to administer the stimulus such as mild, moderate or maximum.</P>

What waves combine so that the resulting wave is bigger than the largest original wave?

This is known as superposition (this can refer to an increase or decrease in the amplitude of a wave caused by the interaction of two or more differing waves) or constructive interference (refers specifically to the increase in amplitude caused by the interaction of two or more waves). For optimum constructive interference to occur, the waves must be perfectly in phase at all times. This means that they must have the same frequency and wavelength and the peaks and troughs of one wave coincide perfectly with the peaks and troughs of the second wave at all times. Maximum constructive interference can occur in waves of differing frequency and wavelength, however it will only occur intermittently when the peaks and troughs happen to coincide perfectly. At other times it may vary from constructive interference (where two wave crests interact but not at their peaks) or destructive interference. Please see the related links.


Difference between natural frequency and resonance frequency?

In natural frequencies the output of the system will be less than the maximum level. In the resonance frequency the output of the system will be the maximum level.


How can a fully developed sea have waves that are bigger or smaller than the maximum theoretical size?

A fully developed sea have waves that are bigger or smaller than the maximum theoretical size due to constructive or destructive interference. Factors that affect maximum wave size includes wind speed, wind duration, and fetch.


What condition determines the point at which the first maximum on either side of the central maximum is located in a double-slit interference pattern?

The difference in paths from each slit to that point is a single wavelength.


What is the frequency deviation for frequency modulation?

Deviation ratio: In a frequency modulation system, the ratio of the maximum frequency deviation of the carrier to the maximum modulating frequency of the system under specified conditions


Difference between bit rate and bit period?

Bit rate is related to the maximum frequency being sent over a channel; it is roughly twice this maximum frequency. Bit period is the time it takes to send a bit; it is 2/(bit rate).

What is interference in physics?

Waves from two sources travel in a medium. At some points when they interfere simultaneously crest and trough of the two waves would meet. So the displacement at that point would be reduced. Hence it is termed as Destructive Interference. If, otherwise, both crests or toughs of the two waves interfere then displacement at those points would be added and hence it becomes maximum. This is termed as Constructive Interference
