  1. What happens to the energy when waves perfectly cancel each …

    Constructive interference at detector 1 goes hand-in-hand with destructive interference at detector 2. If you only look at one detector or the other, it might seem like energy is created or …

  2. Destructive interference of light and destroying energy?

    Apr 9, 2019 · 5 I've had a hard time with destructive interference of light, and the possibility of destroying energy. I've read countless articles here and elsewhere, leaving me with the …

  3. Where does energy go in destructive interference? [duplicate]

    To make the interference purely destructive everywhere, the initial interfering beams would have to have highly synchronized phases pretty much at every place of the photographic plate (or …

  4. Clarifications on interference of waves - Physics Stack Exchange

    Jan 14, 2024 · Constructive and Destructive Interference: Correct, constructive interference occurs when waves are in phase (phase difference of 0 or multiples of 360 degrees), resulting …

  5. How does Destructive Interference redistribute energy?

    Feb 22, 2019 · In a region of destructive interference, these waves (with their energy inside their fields) must put their energy somewhere right? How can the energy just magically teleport to …

  6. optics - Destructive interference and energy conservation - Physics ...

    Nov 23, 2017 · 0 Whenever you have destructive interference somewhere, you always produce constructive interference somewhere else. The reason is that all processes are unitary. …

  7. Energy conservation and interference - Physics Stack Exchange

    It is guaranteed that finite wave packets always create places where the interference is constructive as well as places where it is destructive: the energy simply flows from the maxima …

  8. waves - Destructive interference - Physics Stack Exchange

    Nov 9, 2020 · Take the most simple academic example for interference. Since it is not any real experiment, one can have shocking contradictions. For example: 2 monochromatic plane …

  9. Why doesn't the explanation for the destructive interference in …

    Jun 15, 2021 · The related trigonometric equations are good for calculating the positions of the fringes. In reality no interference takes place because the photons of the EM radiation at that …

  10. Eliminating sound vibrations by using destructive interference for ...

    Dec 26, 2022 · Can you eliminate sound vibration (when either it is audible sound, ultrasound or infrasound) by creating a destructive interference, but when both sources are in opposite …
