Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

False

When two waves overlap or superimpose over each other then they either undergo Constructive or destructive interference.

waves are the disturbance created by a force and add up to gives constructive interference when they are in the same line i.e. in the same phase.

When these disturbances are in the opposite phase then they superimpose to give destructive interference where the amplitude of the resulting wave will be much smaller as compared to original waves.
