Wave interference is a phenomenon that occurs when two or more waves overlap in space and time, resulting in a new wave pattern. This interaction can lead to various effects, depending on the relative phases and amplitudes of the waves involved. There are two primary types of interference: 1. **Constructive Interference**: This occurs when the peaks (crests) of two or more waves coincide, leading to a resultant wave with a larger amplitude.
