In 1940, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge across the Puget Sound collapsed. The bridge was a suspension bridge. The wind blowing through the narrows matched the natural frequency of the bridge. This resulted in a large movement of roadway, which eventually caused the bridge to fail. What characteristic of waves caused the bridge to collapse? Absorption, because the bridge absorbed all the energy of the wind diffraction, because the wind moved around the bridge, which set the bridge into motion interference, because constructive interference occurred when the wind frequency matched the natural frequency of the bridge interference, because destructive interference occurred when the wind frequency matched the natural frequency of the bridge

Answer :

Answer:

interference, because constructive interference occurred when the wind frequency matched the natural frequency of the bridge

Explanation:

Wave interference occurs when two waves with identical wavelength, velocity, frequency, and amplitude meet each other when the waves travel along with the same medium.

The characteristic of waves that caused the bridge to collapse is interference because constructive interference occurred when the wind frequency matched the natural frequency of the bridge
