When two sound waves interfere with each other, loudness is an indication of ​ (a)  

• Constructive Interference
• Destructive Interference
• the doppler effect
• a frequency change

Answer explanation

Sound waves--> Loudness-->Amplitude

Wave Interference is summative. We add the waves together. An increase in amplitude means two waves added together and formed a louder wave.

Reorder these to tell the story about sound going through noise cancelling headphones.

• The ambient noise wave is inverted

• the listener hears their music, not the noise.

• The speaker transmits the original and inverted waves

• A microphone "hears" ambient noises

• destructive interference occurs prior to reaching the ear

Answer explanation

An ambient noise (sound wave) is detected by a microphone. This wave is measured and an inverted wave is produced by the speaker (headset) causing destructive interference to occur, thus the listener hears great music without the noise.
