Interference & Doppler effect Review

What will happen when two waves collide?

• The waves will bounce back in the direction they came from.

• The waves will pass through each other and continue in the same direction.

• The waves will cancel each other out and create a flat surface.

• The waves will merge and create a single larger wave.

What happens to the amplitude of waves during constructive interference?

• The amplitudes cancel out

• The amplitudes remain the same

• The amplitudes add up to make a bigger amplitude

• The amplitudes are in opposite directions

What is the result of destructive interference on the amplitude of waves?

• The amplitudes add up to make a bigger amplitude

• The amplitudes remain the same

• The amplitudes cancel out, making the amplitude smaller

• The amplitudes multiply

What is the term used to describe the addition of waves when they interfere with one another?

• Diffraction

• Reflection

• Refraction

• Superposition

What is interference in the context of waves?

• The process by which waves increase their amplitude

• The event that occurs when two waves collide with each other and create a resultant wave

• The cancellation of waves when they are out of phase

• The reflection of waves from a surface

What happens when two or more waves overlap according to the Principle of Superposition?

• The resultant wave is weaker than the individual waves.

• The resultant wave is equal to the sum of the individual waves.

• The resultant wave is completely different from the individual waves.

• The waves cancel each other out and no resultant wave is formed.

What happens to the amplitudes of two waves when they experience constructive interference?

• The amplitudes cancel each other out.

• The amplitudes add up to make an even bigger amplitude momentarily.

• The amplitudes remain the same.

• The amplitudes are halved.

What happens during destructive interference between two waves?

• The waves amplify each other's amplitude.

• The waves cancel out each other's amplitude, making it smaller momentarily.

• The waves change direction.

• The waves maintain their amplitude.
