waves interference

Front

What is constructive interference?

Back

Constructive interference occurs when two waves meet and combine to form a larger wave.

Front

What is destructive interference?

Back

Destructive interference occurs when two waves meet and cancel each other out, resulting in a smaller wave or no wave at all.

Front

True or False: Constructive interference results in a louder sound.

Back

True

Front

True or False: Destructive interference results in a bigger wave.

Back

False

Front

What happens during constructive interference?

Back

Two waves connect and create a wave with greater amplitude.

Front

What happens during destructive interference?

Back

Two waves connect and reduce the overall amplitude, potentially canceling each other out.

Front

What type of interference occurs when waves are in phase?

Back

Constructive interference.

Front

What type of interference occurs when waves are out of phase?

Back

Destructive interference.

Front

Give an example of constructive interference in sound.

Back

When two speakers play the same sound wave in sync, the sound is amplified.

Back

When two speakers play the same sound wave out of sync, the sound may be reduced or canceled.
