What type of interference occurs when two waves are in phase?
Constructive
Distinguish between constructive interference and destructive interference?
Constructive interferences occur when two waves combine (add up) by the superpostition principle. Destructive interferences occur when the crest of one wave interferes with the trough of another. Amplitudes are subtracted.
If two light waves start out in phase with one another but one travels two wavelengths farther than the other before they come together will the waves be in phase or out of phase when they combine?
in phase
What causes two sound waves to combine and produce no sound?
This is known as 'Sound Cancellation' or deconstructive interference. It occurs when two waves 180º out of phase of and of equal magnitude combine. The resulting wave has zero magnitude and thus cannot be heard.
When does Destructive interference occur?
Constructive interference occurs when the crest of one wave passes through, and adds itself to, the crest of an 'adjacent' wave. This combination is said to be additive. Rogue Waves are actual and can be quite destructive.
When two identical waves arrive at the same place in phase there is?
... constructive interference.
What type of interference occurs when two waves are in phase?
Constructive
When two light waves arrive at the same place at the same time they create a what of light?
Two light waves arriving at the same place at the same time will normally create an interference pattern of light, if they are not perfectly in phase; if they are perfectly in phase they will just create a brighter light.
What occurs when two or more waves occupy the same space at same time?
They interfere. The interference will be constructive (create a greater wave) if they are in phase, they will interfere destructively if they are out of phase.

What does la phase mean?
La Phase means the phase. Phase in sinusoidal functions or in waves has two different.
When does Destructive interference occur?
Constructive interference occurs when the crest of one wave passes through, and adds itself to, the crest of an 'adjacent' wave. This combination is said to be additive. Rogue Waves are actual and can be quite destructive.
Light waves of one wavelength that travels with its crests and troughs aligned is called what?
Light waves of a single wavelength is known as being coherent. This allows constructive interference which occurs when two or more waves are in phase i.e. their crests and troughs are aligned.
A wave that occurs at the boundary between two media when transverse waves combine?
A standing wave occurs when two transverse waves combine.
What is the phase difference of two waves in phase?
360 degrees or 2(pi) radians
