Answer:

What interference occurs when two waves are out of phase?

Image result for ______ interference occurs when two waves are out of phase.

Destructive interference

Destructive interference occurs when the maxima of two waves are 180 degrees out of phase: a positive displacement of one wave is canceled exactly by a negative displacement of the other wave. The amplitude of the resulting wave is zero.
