Experiment Controls
Adjust the phase shift of Wave 2 to see how the waves interact. Do they build each other up or cancel each other out?
Observation Guide:
- Constructive: At 0° or 360°, the peaks align — the combined wave is taller!
- Destructive: At 180°, the peak of one hits the trough of the other — they cancel out!
