What type of interference is represented in the diagram?

• Constructive

• Destructive

True or False? Two waves cannot exist in the same space or in the same medium at the same time.

• True

• False

When a compression interferes with another compression, what occurs?

• They counteract and the wave stops.

• They combine to create a larger compression.

• They combine to create a rarefaction.

• None of the above.
