Asked by Zoie

if a pulse with an amplitude of 5 plus units interferes with a pulse with an amplitude of 3- units , then neither construcutive nor destructive interference occurs.

The statement is incorrect. By superposition the resultant amplitude is 5 + (−3) = +2 units. Because the pulses have opposite signs they partially cancel one another, so you get partial (not complete) destructive interference. Constructive interference would occur only if the pulses had the same sign; complete destructive interference would require equal magnitudes with opposite signs.
