WhufI
• When two waves meet, the result at any point
is the SUM of the two amplitudes at that
point. This is called the principle of
superposition
• If the two waves combine to form a larger
wave, that is constructive interference
• If the two waves combine to form a smaller
wave, that is destructive interference
