They refract off one another
What type of interference is occurring in the picture?
Constructive
Destructive
Constructive interference happens when two waves are:
out of phase.
zero amplitude.
in phase.
What type of interference is represented in the diagram?

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.
When a crest and a trough interfere, what occurs?
They combine to create a higher amplitude wave.
They counteract and the wave either lessens or stops completely.
The wave changes into a longitudinal wave.
Wave Interference
A) The waves are in phase and their amplitudes add up.
B) The waves are out of phase and their amplitudes cancel out.
C) The waves have different frequencies and create a beat pattern.
D) The waves travel in opposite directions and form a standing wave.
Wave Interference
A) The interference pattern is a result of the Doppler effect.
B) The interference pattern is due to the superposition of two or more waves.
C) The interference pattern occurs only in sound waves.
D) The interference pattern is caused by the reflection of waves from a surface.
