Max and Jimmy were jumping on a trampoline. Max begins jumping in a steady pattern, making small waves in the trampoline. Jimmy starts jumping on the trampoline too. Suddenly, Max goes twice as high even though he did not put any extra effort into jumping. What type of wave interaction occurred?

• reflection

• refraction

• destructive interference

• constructive interference
