← ScienceWhat outcome results when two ocean waves collide at opposing phases?
A)Wave amplitude decreases noticeably✓
B)Wave frequency immediately sharply increases
C)Wave dissipation accelerates rapidly
D)Wave speed momentarily vastly increases
💡 Explanation
When waves meet at opposite phases, destructive interference occurs, which flattens the crests and troughs, therefore the amplitude decreases, rather than frequency changes or acceleration, because amplitude reduction is the result of energy cancellation.
