Question 1

What is constructive interference?

  • When waves are out of phase
  • When wave peaks align
  • When no waves interact

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens to the amplitude.

Question 2

True or False: Destructive interference increases wave amplitude.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the effect of waves canceling each other out.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A monochromatic light source is shone through a double-slit. Describe the expected interference pattern on the screen. Make a labeled sketch!

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember how peaks overlap in this setup!

Question 2

If two coherent light waves of the same frequency are traveling in opposite directions meet at a junction, describe what happens at that point.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the properties of being in phase versus out of phase.
