MCQ
Two light beams superimposed each other constructively this results in:
- AA loss of kinetic energy
- BThe destruction of the waves
- CThe reversal of the direction of the waves
- ✓A larger wave
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
A larger wave
For constructive interference,
$A_R=A_1+A_2$
Due to the constructive interference of the superimposing waves, resultant wave of larger amplitude is obtained and hence constructive interference results in the larger wave.
