Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. This worksheet will test your understanding of wave superposition.
1. What happens when two waves meet and combine to form a larger wave?
Destructive interference
Constructive interference
Wave reflection
Wave refraction
2. When two waves meet and cancel each other out, this is called:
Constructive interference
Destructive interference
Wave diffraction
Wave absorption
3. The principle of states that when two or more waves overlap, the resulting displacement is the sum of the individual displacements.
4. When waves are in phase, they combine to create a wave with a larger amplitude, which is called interference.
5. When waves are out of phase, they combine to create a wave with a smaller amplitude (or even cancel out), which is called interference.
6. Wave superposition only applies to sound waves, not light waves.
True
False
7. The individual waves are permanently changed after they interfere with each other.
True
False
8. Look at the image below. This diagram shows an example of a wave. Label the crest and trough of the wave.
9. Describe in your own words what happens during constructive interference.
10. Describe in your own words what happens during destructive interference.
