Question

two sound waves from different sources intersect and the volume of the sound becomes louder.
when a person yells out over a canyon, they hear an echo of their voice.
choose
choose
diffraction
interference
refraction
reflection

Explanation:

Response
For the first scenario (Two sound waves... louder):
Brief Explanations

When two sound waves intersect and the sound becomes louder, this is constructive interference (a type of interference) where waves add up. Diffraction is bending, refraction is bending at a boundary, reflection is bouncing. So the correct term is Interference.

Brief Explanations

An echo is caused by sound waves bouncing off a surface (the canyon walls), which is reflection. Diffraction is spreading, interference is wave interaction, refraction is bending. So the correct term is Reflection.

Answer:

Interference

For the second scenario (Person yells over canyon... echo):
