​ Wave Interference occurs when two or more waves ​ (a)   and form a new wave.

When the wave is built up that is called ​ (b)   interference, when the wave gets ​ (c)   that is called ​ (d)   interference.

• overlap

• constructive

• destructive

• smaller

Which best describes what happens if two waves meet and build on each other?

• constructive interference

• destructive interference

• reflection

• absorption

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.
