Question

Q#3 Two waves pulses with equel positive amplitudes passeach other on a string, one is traveling toward the right and theother toward the left, At the point that they occupy the sameregion of space at the same time is (a) constructive interference occurs (b) destructive interference occurs (c) a standing wave is produced (d) a traveling wace is produced Q#3 Two waves pulses with equel positive amplitudes passeach other on a string, one is traveling toward the right and theother toward the left, At the point that they occupy the sameregion of space at the same time is (a) constructive interference occurs (b) destructive interference occurs (c) a standing wave is produced (d) a traveling wace is produced

Explanation / Answer

When they occupy the same space at the same time, it means bothcrests and troughs are stacked - which is the definition ofconstructive interference. The answer is A).
