Interference describes different waves superposing to form a resultant wave of greater, lower, or the same amplitude. Normally, it involves interaction of waves that are correlated (coherent) with each other, either because they come from the same source, or because they have the same or nearly the same frequency. Interference effects can be observed with all types of waves, e.g., light, radio, acoustic, surface, or matter waves.

Can the frequency of a wave change with respect to distance? Is there any phenomenon, or wav...

Not sure if I am right: For wave equation: $\nabla^2 \phi = 1/c^2 \frac{\partial^2\phi}{\partial t^2}$, the solution is $\phi =A(r) e^{i(\omega t-r \cdot k(r))}$. If $\omega$ is a function of r, then …
