Question

What happens if two sound waves having the same frequency interfere in phase?

Answer 1

It has been a while since i have learned this, but if i understand it correctly, (and mind you i am not completely sure of my answer) i think that the wave doubles in size because they have the same frequency, so at the point of "collision" they will meet and double the size of the oscillation.

Answer 2

constructive interference takes place. . :p

Answer 3

is that what it is called? haha like i said its been a while. is that what i was desribing? or not even close? lol

Answer 4

Yup. . as u said wave doubles in size. . yes their amplitudes add up if two waves of SAME FREQUENCY (very imp) travelling in same direction with same phase combine or interfere. . which leads to constructive interference. . the opposite is destructive interference. . The same phenomena happens with the light. . checkoout the attachment containing the pic describing it :p

Answer 5

Well i would like to thank you for explaining it to me more thoroughly! like i said, its been a quick minute (actually high school) since i learned about waves haha. so thank you!

Answer 6

Oh np. . uar welcome :)
I also learnd that during my school tym. . 1.5 years back. . he he . . !! not too long. . loved this topic so remembered a bit of it :p
Btw Thks for the medal :)

Answer 7

hahaha, i learned it about the same time ago hahaha. im the same way hahaha. oh no problem! you helped me more than i helped you! so you deserve it! haha
