Generation

# Wave Interference **Wave interference** occurs when two or more waves overlap in the same space. The waves combine according to the **principle of superposition**: at each point, the resulting displacement is the sum of the individual wave displacements. - **Constructive interference**: Waves align (crest + crest) → larger amplitude - **Destructive interference**: Waves oppose (crest + trough) → reduced or zero amplitude ## Common Misconception **"Waves destroy each other during destructive interference"** Many people think that when waves cancel out at a point of destructive interference, the wave energy disappears. In reality, **the waves pass through each other unchanged**. The energy isn't destroyed—it's redistributed to other locations where constructive interference occurs. After overlapping, each wave continues on with its original properties intact. Energy is conserved; it just moves to different positions in space.
