Lowest frequency at which destructive interference is observed?

Constructive and destructive interference can occur at any frequency. Superposition of waves is not dependent on a specific frequency.

Is Earthquake constructive or destructive?

Destructive. Destructive means destroying and constructive means to make something. An earthquake is both destructive and 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.


Occurs when constructive activities occur at a faster rate than destructive activites?

For true growth to occur, constructiveactivities must occur at a fasterrate than destructive ones. -darlene de la rosa2992


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.


Are destructive waves more frequent than constructive waves?

Yupp, they occur between 10-15 per minute where as constructive occur about 7 times per minute.


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.


What is it called when two waves overlap?

When the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another, this produces destructive interference. If both original waves are equal in amplitude, then nothing will remain. The waves completely cancel out. However, if one waver is larger in amplitude, then there will still be a wave left over after they meet, but it will be smaller. The amplitude of the new wave will be the larger wave amplitude minus the smaller wave amplitude one. The opposite can also occur. If the crests of two waves overlap, then it produces constructive interference (resulting in one larger wave).
