Question

what can accurately be said about a resultant wave that displays both reinforcement and interference?

Answer 1

As the frequency of the waves increases, a greater number of wavelengths pass a given point per second. From the wave formula, we see that there is an indirect relationship between frequency and the wavelength. thus, as the frequency increases the wavelength decreases resulting to a smaller distance between the waves which will show greater number of wavelengths between waves.

Answer 2

Answer;

The component waves have different frequencies.

Explanation;

-When two periodic waves meet, their amplitudes add (by principle of superposition) and the resulting disturbance can be either reinforced (constructive interference) or eliminated (destructive interference) .

-The magnitudes of reinforcement usually really dependent on the number of frequencies and interference is usually caused due to the difference in frequencies. Therefore, we can conclude that if the frequencies are different and causing interference, the reinforcement will also different.
