Alexus · Answer 1

The answer is B that is Constructive interference will occur, causing the new wave to have more energy than Wave A or Wave B.

This is because whenever waves meet in phase that is trough on trough or crest on crest a constructive interference occurs.

Constructive interference means that the waves will now possess more energy, typically summing up booth of the troughs or crests energy.

A destructive interference only occurs when waves are out of phase.
