1) Superposition results in adding the two waves together. Constructive interference is when two waves superimpose and the resulting wave has a higher amplitude than the previous waves. Destructive interference is when two waves superimpose and cancel each other out, leading to a lower amplitude.
Turn off the second drip and then add a barrier with one slit. What do you observe on the right side of the wall? What do you observe on the left side of the wall? From a physics perspective, explain your observations of what is happening on both sides of the barrier.
Explanation:
The speed and amplitude of the waves are affected when hitting the barrier. The two waves reflect off the barrier and they travel in opposite directions.
