Wave Interference: Occurs when two or more waves act simultaneously on the same particles of a medium.
Constructive Interference: is a type of interference that occurs on a medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction, a crest or trough. When both the waves meet, they join together to create an amplitude by adding both of theirs together. The wavelength of the pulse is taken in the form of which ever one has the largest one. The frequency of the waves does not change as the Constructive Interference is only momentarily and they progress on.

Destructive Interference: is a type of interference that occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction. This causes the resulting wave to be smaller than its joiners. This affects the wavelength of the pulse as it is smaller and the frequency is null.

Principal of Superposition: Ant any point the resulting amplitude of two interfering waves is the algebraic sum of the displacements of the individual waves.
In-Phase Interference: waves that constructively interfere with each other. The resulting wave (R) is the sum of wave A and B.
Out Of Phase Interference: Waves that destructively interfere, cancelling each other out, producing the resultant wave (R), which has no amplitude or wavelength.
