Explanation:
The phenomenon of superimposing of two waves such that the resultant wave have greater, lower, or the same amplitude.
There are two conditions for the interference.
- Constructive wave interference: This type of interference occurs after adding of two maxima such that the amplitude of the resulting wave is equal to the sum of the amplitudes of individual waves.
- Destructive wave interference: In this type of interference, the amplitude of the resulting wave gets reduced as the crest of one wave meets with the trough of another wave.
