Interference event is observed
Interference event is observed
- A. only in transverse waves
- B. only in longitudinal waves
- C. in both types of waves
- D. none
Step-by-step solution
Interference is a phenomenon that occurs when two waves superpose. It is a general wave property and can be observed in both transverse waves (e.g., light) and longitudinal waves (e.g., sound). Therefore, the correct option is C.
