Wave Interference. Interference occurs when two or more waves are at the same location at the same time. For example, the wind may create tiny ripples on top of larger waves in the ocean.The superposition principle states that the total vibration at any point is the sum of the vibrations produced by the individual waves.
If the path difference of two coherent waves is a whole number of wavelengths (n \lambda), constructive interference occurs. This occurs as the peaks and troughs of the waves line up and superposition occurs.
Wave Interference. The two special cases of superposition that produce the simplest results are pure constructive interference and pure destructive interference. Pure constructive interference occurs when two identical waves arrive at the same point exactly in phase.
Interference of Waves. A tuning fork emits sound at a frequency of 1000 Hz from each of the tines that are separated by. cm. As the tuning fork is rotated, it is observed that the volume of the sound increases and decreases. Explain why this happens.
Experiment with diffraction through elliptical, rectangular, or irregular apertures. Make waves with a dripping faucet, audio speaker, or laser! Add a second source to create an interference pattern.
Wave interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium. The interference of waves causes the medium to take on a shape that results from the net effect of the two individual waves upon the particles of the medium.
Explore wave interference with interactive simulations, including single-slit diffraction and double-slit interference patterns.
