Question

In destructive interference, the waves from each other as they overlap.
GPT-4o mini
In destructive interference, the waves **cancel each other out** as they overlap. This occurs when two waves of the same frequency and amplitude are out of phase, meaning that the crest of one wave aligns with the trough of another. As a result, the overall amplitude at points of overlap is reduced, and can even reach zero if the waves are perfectly out of phase.
