Look at the diagram below. It shows two separate waves that are interacting with each other. Based on the two waves, draw what you think the resulting wave would be on the same image (what shape would it have after these two waves interact?) B. Look at the diagram below. It shows two separate waves that are interacting with each other. Based on the two waves, draw what you think the resulting wave would be on the same image (what shape would it have after these two waves interact?) C. Watch as your teacher demonstrates wave interference using sine curves in Geogebra. After the demonstration is done, analyze your hypotheses from A and B above. Do you agree with what you had drawn? Draw the correct resulting wave of each on the diagrams (whether you had it correct in A & B or not!)
Understand the Problem
This question involves understanding wave interference, specifically how two waves interact to form a resultant wave. The student needs to predict and draw the resulting wave based on the provided diagrams of two interacting waves and after a classroom demonstration.
Answer
I need the diagrams to answer this question, in order to provide the correct resulting wave shapes, based on the two interacting waves.
To answer this question, I would need to see the diagrams mentioned in parts A, B, and C. The diagrams are essential in order to provide the correct resulting wave shapes, based on the two interacting waves.

More Information
Wave interference can be constructive, where the amplitudes add together, or destructive, where they cancel each other out, depending on the phase relationship between the waves.
Tips
A common mistake is to only consider the amplitude of the waves and to not consider the phase when determining the resulting wave.
