When two waves meet and their amplitudes combine to create a wave with a smaller amplitude. This results in the cancellation of certain parts of the waves.
congrats on reading the definition of Destructive Interference. now let's actually learn it.
Constructive Interference: When two waves meet and their amplitudes combine to create a wave with a larger amplitude.
Superposition Principle: The principle that states when multiple waves overlap, they add up algebraically to form a resultant wave.
Standing Wave: A wave pattern that forms when an incident wave and its reflected wave interfere constructively or destructively.
