PLEASE HELP!!!! Define constructive interference.

Physics

Constructive interference is a phenomenon in optics where the crest or troughs of two or more waves intersect each other. This leads to increase in the intensity of the output wave.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When two or more waves emitting from different sources travel together, they tend to intersect at some point. So the waves can intersect either at both the crusts position and both the waves in trough position. Thus if the intersecting points of the superposing waves are same, then it will lead to constructive interference leading to formation of bright light.

But if the intersecting points of the superposing waves are different, for example the crust of one wave is intersecting with trough of other wave, then it will lead to destructive interference. The output of the destructive interference is a dark spot in those regions.

Thus, constructive interference increases the amplitude of the superimposing waves as they add up the intensities of crusts of all intersecting points or troughs of all intersecting points.

Does gravity hold things together?
mariarad [96]
  <span>Gravity is an attractive force. All masses exert gravity, so matter pull toward each other. However, it is only significant when the masses are large, like that of Earth.  Exactly what causes gravity still remains a mystery. Since all the other three fundamental forces (strong, weak, and electromagnetic) are caused by particles called bosons, some scientists think that gravity is caused by particles called the graviton. However, such a particle has not yet been observed, and its existence has not been proven yet. 
Also, gravity does not hold EVERYTHING together, as another person has already mentioned. Static electricity holds your socks together after they come out of the dryer, not gravity. Also, gravity is too weak to hold together, say, the nucleus of atoms, or even atoms of molecules together.</span>
