Answer : Constructive interference

Explanation :

When two waves superimpose on each other, the process is called the interference of wave.

There are two conditions for the interference of the wave

  • constructive interference
  • destructive interference

We know that the trough is the topmost portion of the wave.

In constructive interference, a trough of one light wave meets the trough of a second light wave hence the amplitude becomes larger while in destructive interference the amplitude of the wave becomes zero.
