What are the differences between constructive and destructive interference?
Constructive Interference: Displacements in the same direction, larger amplitude. | Destructive Interference: Displacements in opposite directions, smaller amplitude.
What are the differences between constructive and destructive interference?
Constructive: Wave displacements in the same direction, larger amplitude | Destructive: Wave displacements in opposite directions, smaller amplitude.
What happens when two waves with the same phase meet?
Constructive interference occurs, resulting in a larger amplitude.
What happens when two waves with opposite phases meet?
Destructive interference occurs, resulting in a smaller amplitude or cancellation.
What causes beats to occur?
The superposition of two waves with slightly different frequencies.
