Question 4 • Physical Science

Which situation would result in interference?

Answer
A
a wave increasing in energy as it hits another wave
B
a wave bouncing off an object
C
a wave bending as it moves through an object
D
a wave scattering as it moves through an object

Explanation

Interference happens when two or more waves meet and combine. Their overlapping waves can increase or decrease the resulting wave’s amplitude. Choice D describes a wave gaining energy as it meets another wave, while bouncing, scattering, and bending describe reflection, scattering, and refraction.
