Question

Which statement explains how destructive interference supports the wavemodel of light rather than the particle model?• A. Light waves bend after passing through a small opening, butparticles would not travel in bent paths.• B. Two beams of light intersect, canceling each otherout andforming a weaker beam, which is a behavior of waves.O C. Two light beams intersect, joining together tO form a brighterbeam, which is a behavior of waves.• D. Light strikes a metal surface and knocks electrons loose, whichparticles would not do.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Two beams of light intersect, canceling each other out and forming a weaker beam, which is a behavior of waves.

Explanation:

Destructive interference occurs when two waves intersect and the maxima of one wave go with the minima of the other causing the waves to cancel out. Then, if two beams of light intersect and cancel each other out, they are acting like waves.
