A set of headphones produces sounds that cancel out sound waves from the environment. Which wave interaction enables these headphones to work?

A. Constructive interference

B. Absorption

C. Destructive interference

D. Reflection

C. Destructive interference

Explanation:

Destructive interference is when there are two waves with the same frequency, and the peaks of one wave (the highest points) line up with the valleys (the lowest points) of the second one.

Constructive interference would cause the sound to be louder.

Absorption and reflection are interactions that would not take into account the fact that the headphones produce sounds.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
