NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 11
In the diagram shown above, two transverse waves are traveling in the same medium. If they interfere destructively, what will be the resultant displacement at the point of overlap?
A
Zero displacement
B
Maximum positive displacement
C
Maximum negative displacement
D
Twice the amplitude of one wave
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Destructive interference occurs when two waves of equal amplitude but opposite phase overlap, resulting in zero displacement as per the principle of superposition.
