Wave Interference and Standing Waves

In standing waves, ________________________ are points with zero amplitude.

• antinodes

• nodes

• wavelengths

• Resonance

• Destructive interference

• Constructive interference

Constructive interference occurs when two waves

• change their speed and bend.

• combine to make a wave with a smaller amplitude.

• combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude.

• are traveling in the same direction.
