one goes below it, there is no overall effect- they practically cancel each other out. This is referred to as destructive interference. The Mechanic summed up this experiment to Alice by saying, “When two waves overlap and combine with each other, their amplitudes, the amounts by which they go up or down, combine with one another. In some places the contributing waves are all going in the same direction, so the disturbances add up and you get a large effect. At other positions they go in…
