Two waves with amplitudes of 52 units and 98 units come together. Their amplitude, which is measured at a specific point and time, is 46 units. What wave behavior explains this value? A. destructive interference B. constructive interference C. refraction D. diffraction E. partial transmission

A

destructive interference

Explanation: Interference involves coming together of two waves of the same type. E.g sound waves, water waves e.t.c

Whenever two waves of different amplitude interferes with one another and there is increase in amplitude, this is known as constructive interference.

But whenever there is decrease in amplitude as a result of interference of the two waves, this is known as destructive interference.

If Two waves with amplitudes of 52 units and 98 units come together. Their amplitude, which is measured at a specific point and time, is 46 units. The wave behavior that explains this value is destructive interference because of decrease in the units of amplitude.

any one of the statements could be an accurate comparison. but the statement that would define the correct choice and seal the deal is not even on the list:

"the visibilities of vector-x and vector-y in the drawing provided with the question are identical and nonexistent."
