Media Image

Two wave pulses with equal positive amplitudes travel on a cord approaching each other. What is the result of the oscillations when the pulses reach the same point?

It is constructive interference with twice the amplitude

It is destructive interference with zero amplitude

It is constructive interference with slightly greater amplitude

It is constructive interference with the negative amplitude

The standing wave is produced
