Destructive+Interference

by: Nicole Melfi Destructive interference is when two waves interfere, the shape of the medium is determined by the sum of separate amplitudes of each wave. It occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waveshave a displacement in the opposite direction.

Destructive interference is when two or more waves propagate through the same medium in such a way that they combine to produce a smaller wave. When the waves are out of phase with each other, they subtract from each other per the law of superposition to produce a smaller wave.
