Question

What happens when the two waves meet?

A.
They superimpose and remain at the same amplitude.
B.
They experience destructive interference and cancel each other out.
C.
They experience constructive interference and have twice the amplitude.
D.
They superimpose and have half of their original amplitude.

Answer 1

when two or more waves meet, they interact with other. The intersection of waves with other waves is called wave interference. wave interference may occur when two waves that are traveling I opposite directions meet. the two waves pass through each other, and this affects their amplitude
