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
  • D
    A larger wave

Answer

  1. A larger wave

Explanation:

For constructive interference,

AR ​= A1​ + A2​

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.
