In summary, wave interference occurs when two or more waves interact with each other, resulting in changes to the amplitude and frequency of the waves. This phenomenon can have various effects on physical objects, depending on the type and strength of the waves and the properties of the object. In some cases, wave interference can cause objects to vibrate or resonate, leading to potential damage or structural changes. It can also result in the creation of standing waves, which can have both positive and negative impacts on objects such as musical instruments or structures. Additionally, wave interference can be harnessed for practical applications, such as in noise-cancelling technology. Overall, the effects of wave interference on physical objects can be complex and varied, and understanding this phenomenon is crucial

How did you find PF?
The forum was mentioned in a social media post.
Currently specializing in constructive and destructive wave interference, and specifically its deflective interactions with real objects. I’ve conducted many physical experiments with some interesting results. Had to suspend experimenting due to some health problems in 2013 and decided to get online to give me something to do during my recovery. Happy to answer any questions I can here. We’ll see how this goes. Cheers.
