← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when the path difference between interfering waves approaches zero?
A)Constructive interference approaches maximum amplitude✓
B)Destructive interference creates intensity minimum
C)Diffraction fringes evenly spread outward
D)Polarization maintains consistent wave orientation
💡 Explanation
Constructive interference sees increased amplitude because the superposition of waves in phase leads to additive combination, and therefore energy amplification rather than cancellation through destructive interference or other phenomena.
