Two wave pulses with equal positive amplitudes pass each other on a string. One is traveling toward the right and the other toward the left. At the point that they occupy the same region of space at the same time
A) constructive interference occurs.
B) destructive interference occurs.
C) a standing wave is produced.
D) a traveling wave is produced.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When two wave pulses with equal positive amplitudes meet, they undergo constructive interference, resulting in a temporary increase in amplitude at the point of overlap.
