text: When two such waves are of equal intensity, they will cancel each other completely.
text: Intermediate situations arise in those directions in which the distances traveled by the two waves differ by some other fraction of a wavelength, the waves tending either to reinforce or to cancel each other.
text: When two waves are of completely opposite phase, they either form a new wave of reduced amplitude (partial destructive interference) or cancel each other out (complete destructive interference).
text: But sometimes, the waves cancel each other out, and you get nothing at all — an interaction known as "destructive interference.
text: Those waves of uncertainty crash into each other and interfere, merging and canceling each other out just like any other waves.
text: Waves can also cancel each other out though when a crest meets a trough or vice-versa.
text: This technique works by superposing (interfering) the signal waves from the different telescopes on the principle that waves that coincide with the same phase will add to each other while two waves that have opposite phases will cancel each other out.
text: Destructive interference: the two waves cancel each other out, resulting in no wave.
