Question

IS on ne! 5. Alice and Bob stand on opposite sides of the turtle pond and each stir up a set of waves by their hands. Which answer below is correct? The two sets of waves collide in the middle of the pond and reflect back toward where they came from. The two sets of waves cancel each other exactly if the wave amplitudes are identical. The two sets of waves reflect from each other into different angles, depending on the relative amplitudes of the waves. The two sets of waves pass through each other. They generate an interference pattern while they overlap. a. b. c. d.

Explanation / Answer

Answer- Option (d)

We know that when two or more waves meet, they interact with each other. This interaction create interference. Hence the two sets of waves pass through each other. They generate an interference pattern while they overlap. Such a process change amplitude. If they meet in opposite phase then amplitude cancel (desturctive interference) and if they meet in same phase then amplitude add.
