Answer 1

Two waves of the same frequency travelling in the same medium but in opposite direction give rise to the phenomenon of destructive Interference.

Answer 2

Two waves of the same frequency traveling in the same medium but in opposite direction give rise to the phenomenon of interference

When two waves moving in opposite directions, each having the same amplitude and frequency combines then stationary waves are formed and the phenomenon involved is called interference.

• When two waves are completely opposite to each other then they either form a new wave of reduced amplitude called partial destructive interference or completely cancel each other out called complete destructive interference.
