Question
what is occurring when two waves traveling along the same medium meet and cancel each other out?
destructive interference
constructive interference
reflection
refraction
Brief Explanations
When two waves meet and cancel each other out, it's called destructive interference. In constructive interference, waves combine to create a larger - amplitude wave. Reflection is when a wave bounces back from a boundary, and refraction is when a wave changes direction as it passes from one medium to another.
