- Learning Goal: To gain an understanding of constructive and destructive interference. Consider two sinusoidal waves (1 and 2) of identical wavelength A, period T, and maximum amplitude A. A snapshot of one of these waves taken at a certain time is displayed in the figure below. (Figure 1) Let yi (z, t) and 2 (z, t) represent the displacement of each wave at position at time t. If these waves were to be in the same location (2) at the same time, they would interfere with one another. This would result in a single wave with a displacement y (z, t) given by y(z, t) = y₁ (z, t) + y₂(z, t). This equation states that at time t the displacement y (x, t) of the resulting wave at position z is the algebraic sum of the displacements of the waves 1 and 2 at position z at time t. When the maximum displacement of the resulting wave is less than the amplitude of the original waves, that is, when ymax A, the waves are said to interfere constructively because the resulting wave is larger than either…arrow_forwardPart B How long will it take him to cross?
