Wave interference can be: (choose 2)

• constructive

• destructive

• reconstruction

• delineated

Constructive interference causes a wave with

• greater amplitude

• less amplitude

Destructive interference causes a wave with

• greater amplitude

• less amplitude

When a wave encounters irregular surfaces, waves are bent around small obstacles or spread out beyond openings is called:

• Refraction

• Diffraction

• Reflection

• Absorption
