Physical Science Wave Interference

What is a general definition of wave interference?

• When a wave bounces off an object

• When more than on wave meet and interact in the same medium

• When a wave bends around a corner

• When a wave creates static

When 2 waves meet on the same medium, how do they interact?

• They bounce off one another

• They travel through one another

• They refract off one another
