Interference is possible in:

1. light waves only
2. sound waves only
3. both light and sound waves
4. neither light nor sound waves

Correct answer: both light and sound waves

Solution

Interference is a phenomenon that occurs when two or more waves superpose, and it is possible for both light waves (electromagnetic waves) and sound waves (mechanical waves).
