Concept explainers
Is it possible for a wave to be canceled by another wave? Defend your answer.
To Explain: The possibility of cancellation of a wave by another wave.
Answer to Problem 5A
Yes, the cancellation of a wave by another one is possible.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When maxima of two waves are 180 degree out of phase then the destructive interference is occurred.
Yes, the cancellation is possible because when crust of a wave meet with trough then the destructive interference is carried out.
Conclusion:
Therefore, cancellation of waves is possible.
