Wave Interference

Constructive Interference

The interference of two or more waves of equal frequency and phase, resulting in their mutual reinforcement and producing a single amplitude equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the individual waves.

 

Destructive Interference

The two pulses completely destroy each other when they are completely overlapped.

Standing Wave

The wave doesn’t propagate. It just sits there vibrating up and down in place.
