constructive interference

Answer

refraction

Answer

reflection

Answer

diffraction

Question 26

When a crest and a trough interfere, what occurs?

Accepted Answer

They counteract and the wave stops.

Answer

They combine to create a higher amplitude wave.

Answer

The wave changes into a longitudinal wave.

Answer

They combine to create a low amplitude wave.

Question 27

When 2 waves temporarily interfere with each other then resume their course of movement, which of the following is true?

Accepted Answer

They temporarily take on a new amplitude due to the interference but resume their original amplitude until the end of the movement.

Answer

They take on and keep a new amplitude based on the result of the interference until the end of the movement.

Answer

They are not affected by the interference and maintain their original amplitude throughout the movement.

Answer

Both waves are always counteracted and cease to exist.
