Generation

When two waves are **in phase**, their peaks and troughs line up perfectly—they rise and fall together at the same time. When waves are in **antiphase** (or out of phase by 180°), they're perfectly misaligned—when one wave reaches its peak, the other hits its trough. You can think of it like two people on swings: in phase, they swing forward together; in antiphase, when one swings forward, the other swings backward. This matters because in-phase waves amplify each other (constructive interference), while antiphase waves can cancel each other out (destructive interference).
