New cards

when two waves meet they will

interfere and superpose

2
New cards

what is superposition

The resultant displacement can be found by adding the two displacements together.

3
New cards

what is constructive interference

If 2 waves combine when their crests coincide constructive interference occurs, and the resultant amplitude would be equal to the sum of theseparate amplitudes.

4
New cards

what is destructive interference

If 2 waves combine when the crest of one coincides with the trough of the other, they will completely cancel each other out
