What is the best description of the destructive interference of light?

A. a longitudinal wave meets transverse light wave
B. two waves have the same direction of displacement
C. a mechanical wave meets an electromagnetic wave
D. two waves have displacement in opposite directions

Respuesta :

Answer: D. two waves have displacement in opposite directions

Explanation:

Superposition of waves:

When two waves having same amplitude moving in same direction superimpose, constructive interference takes place. Crest meets crest and trough meets trough. Higher amplitude wave forms.

When two waves having same amplitude moving in opposite direction superimpose, destructive interference takes place. Crest meets trough and trough meets crest. lower amplitude wave forms.

We have that for the Question "What is the best description of the destructive interference of light" it can be said that the best description of the destructive interference of light is

  • Two waves have the same direction of displacement
  • Option B

From the question we are told

What is the best description of the destructive interference of light?

Destructive interference

  • Destructive interference happens when the maxima of two waves are a hundred and eighty degree out of order phase
  • a +ve displacement of one wave is cancelled precisely via a -ve displacement of a different wave form.

Therefore

the best description of the destructive interference of light is

  • Two waves have the same direction of displacement
  • Option B
