Title: 3rd Step: Learning about Constructive Interference
Course: Sound Physics

Adding Waves Constructively

When waves are added together and their peaks and troughs coincide you get what is called constructive interference.  Click on these images to hear each represented wave.  What did you find?

Small Amplitude Wave

Mid Size Amplitude Wave

Both Waves Added Together (the result is the third track)

You should find that these waves added together to make a wave with larger amplitude and therefore a louder volume!
