diffraction
When two waves meet and overlap, it is called interference. Interference can result in constructive interference, where the amplitude of the resulting wave is increased, or destructive interference, where the amplitudes partially or completely cancel each other out.
The principle is superposition. This means that when two waves overlap, their displacements add up to create a new wave that is the sum of the two individual waves.
The correct answer is ''Interference"
The amplitudes add.
interference
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.
Constructive interference occurs when the crests of two waves overlap. This results in an increase in the amplitude of the combined wave.
When two or more waves overlap, they can interfere constructively, resulting in a wave with greater amplitude, or destructively, resulting in a wave with lesser amplitude or cancellation. The resulting wave's amplitude is determined by the superposition of the individual waves.
When two or more waves overlap, it is called interference. Interference can result in amplification (constructive interference) or cancelation (destructive interference) of the waves depending on their phase relationship.
It depends. if the waves are in sync with each other, they will amplify. If they are out of sync, they will be negated.
