MCQ
Two light beams superimposed each other constructively this results in:
  • A
    A loss of kinetic energy
  • B
    The destruction of the waves
  • C
    The 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.
