What will occur when the trough of Wave A overlaps the trough of Wave B?
Destructive interference will occur, causing the new wave to have more energy than Wave A or Wave B.
Constructive interference will occur, causing the new wave to have more energy than Wave A or Wave B.
Destructive interference will occur, causing the new wave to have less energy than Wave A or Wave B.
Constructive interference will occur, causing the new wave to have less energy than Wave A or Wave B.
