When the points on a wave are in and out of phase.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A wave is defined as an oscillation (or disturbance) which travels via space and matter. This physical phenomenon is characterized by its wavelength, frequency, plus amplitude.
If the frequencies of two waves are same and also, they perfectly aligned with a phase difference of
Two points on a wave are said to be in phase with each other when the two points move up and down together at the same time and the two points are out of phase when the two points move up and down at different times.
