This shows the effect of constructive or destructiveinterference between the incoming and outgoing waves.
Constructive or destructiveinterference of various encounter s of a particle with the same resonance is then important.
Over time, such destructiveinterference tends to remove synaptic action fields that fail to match global boundary conditions.
For example, destructiveinterference is expected when regions of enhanced excitatory synaptic activity interact with regions of enhanced inhibitory activity.
If the attenuation over one typical eddy dimension was significant, the radiation from the associated quadrupole radiator would be enhanced by a reduction of the destructiveinterference between source elements.
The second, a quantum -calculus (q -calculus), goes further by allowing terms to be represented negatively in distributions; thus there is the possibility of destructiveinterference when distributions are combined.
If two interacting waves meet at a point where they are in antiphase, then destructiveinterference will occur.
