... constructive interference.
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.
wavelength
Refracting is the phenomena that takes place when sound waves are reflected from a surface along parallel lines. During this phenomena the phase velocity of the wave changes but the frequency of the wave stays the same.
yes it does because its faster and its the primary wave
only if the waves are IN PHASE. This means if you are looking at a diagram of 2 waves going at each other, both waves have to be the same size, wavelength, AND on the same side of the diagram, whether its on the top or bottom. If one wave is on the bottom and the other on top, but has the same size, it will produce a standing wave.
Identical light waves in phase are called coherent light waves. Coherent waves have a constant phase difference between them, which allows for constructive interference and the formation of interference patterns.
When two waves arrive in phase, their crests and troughs align perfectly, leading to constructive interference. This results in an increase in the amplitude of the wave at that point.

Constructive
When sound waves of the same frequency and amplitude arrive 180 degrees out of phase, they undergo destructive interference. This results in the waves canceling each other out, leading to a reduction in overall sound intensity.
When waves from a pair of closely-spaced slits arrive in phase, they constructively interfere and create a pattern of bright fringes on a screen known as interference pattern. This occurs because the waves reinforce each other, leading to regions of high intensity on the screen where the crests and troughs of the waves align.
P waves arrive first.
Constructive interference produces the crests (points of maximum amplitude) in a standing wave, where waves arrive in phase and amplify each other. Destructive interference produces the nodes (points of zero amplitude), where waves arrive out of phase and cancel each other out.

Secondary waves.
The fastest seismic waves, P-waves, will arrive first at a seismograph station after an earthquake. P-waves are compressional waves that can travel through both solids and liquids, allowing them to arrive at a station before the slower S-waves and surface waves.
