Media Image

The image demonstrates how light behaves as longitudinal wave with compressions (solid lines) and rarefactions (dotted lines). The points of in phase intersection (where the compression meets a compression or a rarefaction meets a rarefaction) represent what type of wave behavior?

Reflection
Refraction
Constructive Interference
Destructive Interference

Media Image

The above picture represents the interaction of two sources of waves. The dotted lines represent the trough of a wave and the solid lines represent the crest. Points A and D are said to be in phase because either two crests line up, or two troughs line up. What wave behavior is occurring at point B?

Reflection
Refraction
Constructive Interference
Destructive Interference
