Waves - two source interference
This video shows how interference from two sound wave sources can produce both constructive (louder sound) and destructive (softer sound) interference patterns. A demonstration using microwaves reinforces this idea. Microwaves are generated and passed through a double slit. The resultant interference of waves is measured using a microwave detector. Both destructive and constructive signals are detected.
