The friends spend a few minutes discussing wave interference, and Serenity makes several statements. Which statement is false?
- In destructive interference, the resultant amplitude is less than that of the larger-amplitude wave.
- Light waves can interfere with one another.
- In constructive interference, the amplitude of the resultant wave is greater than that of either individual wave.
- When the light from both slits in a double-slit experiment arrives at a point on the screen such that constructive interference occurs at that location, a dark fringe appears. When the light from the two slits combines destructively at any location on the screen, a bright fringe results.
