What is meant by constructive interference?
A. Waves combine and their amplitude decreases
B. Waves do not combine and their amplitude decreases
C. Waves do not combine and their amplitude increases
D. Waves combine and their amplitude increases

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. Waves combine and their amplitude increases

Explanation:

amplitude is the height of the wave in a graph

constructive interference happens when two waves are lined up perfectly

example when two speakers playing same music while facing each other, music will appear louder

Destructive interference happens when the peaks match the valleys and they cancel perfectly

like with noise cancelling headphones

during constructive interference, waves collide in phase

in phase means add together making the height of the wave in a graph bigger (amplitude increases)

Example: When we see two speakers right next to each other, we can experience constructive interference when the distance from each speaker to the observer is the same

two waves destructively interfere, they must have the same amplitude in opposite directions
