constructive interference happens when two waves overlap in such a way that they combine to create a larger wave
beats the pulsation caused by the combination of two waves of slightly different frequencies.
nodes a point, line, or region in a standing wave at which there is relatively little or no vibration
interference the act or process of interfering
principle of superposition principle of superposition states that the net response caused by two or more stimuli is the sum of the responses that would have been caused by each stimulus individually.
