The amplitude decreases.

<h3>What is Interference?</h3>

the combined result of two or more wave trains travelling in parallel or coincident directions. The result is the result of adding the individual wave amplitudes at each place that is influenced by multiple waves, called interference.

types of interference -

When the crests of two waves overlap, constructive interference takes place. The illustration above depicts what occurs. The crests of the waves merge as they pass past one another to create a wave with a larger amplitude. The similar thing can occur when two troughs interact.

When two wave's maxima are 180 degrees out of phase, destructive interference happens: a positive displacement of one wave is precisely cancelled by a negative displacement of the other wave. The resultant wave has zero amplitude.

When one wave crest overlaps the crest of another and they add together what happens to the amplitude decreases.

Suppose a photon with an energy of 1.60 eV strikes a piece of metal. If the electron that it hits loses 0.800 eV leaving the met
JulsSmile [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the change of Energy in photons and the conservation of energy.

From the theory we could consider that the energy change is subject to

\Delta E = E_0 -W_f

Where

E_0 =Initial Energy

W_f = Energy loses

Replacing we have that

\Delta E = 1.6-0.8

\Delta E = 0.8eV

Therefore the Kinetic energy of the electron once it has broken free of the metal surface is 0.8eV
