Question

If two waves traveling in the same direction overlap and thus interfere, which best describes the interference if the waves have a phase difference of 1.5 wavelengths?

fully destructive interference If two waves traveling in the same direction overlap and thus interfere, which best describes the interference if the waves have a phase difference of 1.5 wavelengths? fully destructive interference fully constructive interference intermediate interference, closer to fully constructive interference intermediate interference, closer to fully destructive interference

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER :fully destructive interference

For full destructive interference the phase difference must be an interger multiple of 0.5 wavelengths

As 1.5 is a multiple of 0.5, so they will fully interfere destructively
