Question

15 points. Would the rules for interference work the same for light waves as they do for sound waves? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, because when waves are at the same place at the same time, the amplitudes of the waves simply add together and this is really all we need to know!

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two waves can be less than either wave, alone, and can even be zero. This is called destructive interference.

If we place the waves side-by-side, point them in the same direction and play the same frequency, we will have  constructive interference.
