Phrases with «interference pattern»

An interference pattern refers to a pattern that occurs when two or more waves come together and interact with each other. This interaction leads to areas where the waves combine and become stronger (called constructive interference) and areas where the waves cancel each other out and become weaker (called destructive interference). The result is a distinct pattern of alternating bright and dark regions that can be observed in various phenomena such as light, sound, or water waves. Full definition
