6. Destructive Interference
6.1. The interaction of 2 or more waves in which displacements combine to produce a wave with a smaller displacement
6.2. 2 or more waves interacting in which their displacements combine to produce a wave with a smaller displacement
6.3. Soundboards
7. Resonance
7.1. The response of a standing wave to another wave of the same frequency with a dramatic increase in amplitude of the standing wave,
