Question

2 boxes connected by a plus sign hold Wave 1 on top and Wave 2 on bottom. The crests of Wave 1 line up with the troughs of Wave 2. 2 curved lines connect these boxes with a third box showing the 2 waves superimposed. An arrow leads from this box to another box labeled Resulting Wave with a wave having twice the amplitude of Waves 1 or 2.
Does the resulting wave demonstrate destructive interference? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

No, the resulting wave in the diagram does not demonstrate destructive interference. The resulting wave in the diagram shows a bigger wave than Wave 1 or Wave 2. If it demonstrated destructive interference, it would be a smaller wave or a horizontal line. With destructive interference, waves break down to form a smaller wave, or cancel each other out, resulting in no wave formation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sample Response: No, the resulting wave in the diagram does not demonstrate destructive interference. The resulting wave in the diagram shows a bigger wave than Wave 1 or Wave 2. If it demonstrated destructive interference, it would be a smaller wave or a horizontal line. With destructive interference, waves break down to form a smaller wave, or cancel each other out, resulting in no wave formation.

What did you include in your response? Check all that apply.

The diagram of the resulting wave does not demonstrate destructive interference.

With destructive interference, waves break each other down to form a smaller wave, or cancel each other out, resulting in no wave formation.

No wave formation is represented by a horizontal line.
