This Occurs When A Positive Displacement Of One Wave Is Canceled Exactly By A Negative Displacement
this occurs when a positive displacement of one wave is canceled exactly by a negative displacement of the other wave positive displacement of one wave is canceled exactly by a negative displacement of the other wave Destructive Interference When two light or sound waves pass through each other, they will cause interference. Individual waves will combine (superposition) to form a new wave front. When the maxima of two waves are 180 degrees out of phase, destructive interference occurs: a positive displacement of one wave is cancelled exactly by a negative displacement of the other wave . The resulting wave has zero amplitude. When two waves are 180 degrees or radians out of phase (a peak lies in the middle of two waves), they interfere destructively and cancel each other out.t occurs at any spot along the medium when the two interfering waves have a displacement of 180 degrees or radians. it is the maximum displacement of a wave from its resting position or the size of the ...
