Interference Interference is the effect produced by the _____superposition of two waves_____________ from ________two coherent ______________ sources Two

waves are in coherent if they have the same __frequency_________, the same ___amplitude_______ and are in _____same phase_________________ Interference occurs when two waves meet at a point during propagating along the same medium. When the two waves are superposed, interference will occur either _____constructive_________interference or _____destructive__________ interference

Principle of superposition Principle of superposition state that __when two waves move simultaneously and coincide at a point, the displacement at that point is equal to the sum of the displacement of the individual waves________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ Two types of interference

Constructive interference Occurs when the ____crests______ or ______troughs________ of both waves same phase! coincide to produce a wave with ______ma"imum amplitude_______

Destructive interference occurs when the ________________ of one wave coincide with the ____________________ of the other waves to produce a wave with __________________________
