Question
For items 1-2 choose only one correct answer. 1. What is interference? A. It occurs when two or more waves overlap and combine. B. It occurs when two or more waves combine and neutralize each other C. The maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position. D. The distance between two identical positions on two consecutive waves. 2. Which of the following statements is TRUE when two waves temporarily interfere with each other then resume their course movement? A. Both waves counteracted and cease to exist. B. They take on and keep a new amplitude based on the result of the interference until the end of the movement. C. They are not affected by the interference and maintain their original amplitude throughout the movement. D. They are temporarily affected by the interference, created new amplitude but resume on their original amplitude until the end of the movement.
