Interference patterns result from wave superposition from "summary" of Fundamentals of Physics, Volume 1 (Chapters 1 - 20) by David Halliday,Robert Resnick,Jearl Walker
When waves meet, they interact with each other, either reinforcing or canceling each other out. This phenomenon is known as wave interference. The resulting pattern that emerges from this interaction is called an interference pattern. This pattern is a direct consequence of wave superposition, where waves combine to form a new wave by adding up their individual effects at each point in space and time.
Wave superposition occurs because waves are characterized by their amplitude and phase. When two waves meet, their amplitudes can either add up (constructive interference) or cancel each other out (destructive interference) depending on their relative phases. Constructive interference happens when the peaks of one wave align with the peaks of another wave, resulting in a wave with larger amplitude. Destructive interference occurs when the peak of one wave aligns with the trough of another, leading to a wave with smaller amplitude or even ...
