Identical waves superimposed out of phase produce a wave of decreased
A)amplitude.
B)frequency.
C)wavelength.
D)all of the above
E)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When identical waves superimpose out of phase, they cancel each other out partially or completely, resulting in a lower overall amplitude of the wave. The frequency and wavelength of the resultant wave remain the same as the original wave because these depend on the source of the wave and not the superposition of waves.
