The two waves will pass through each other without problem.
It will be still. There will be no wave.
Correct answer:
It will be still. There will be no wave.
Explanation:
When two waves are superimposed with destructive interference, they cancel each other out. Since these two waves are identical, they will completely cancel each other out and there will be no wave. It will be still.
