Well maybe, but I'll ask you a question, okoh, if energy is lost, in what form do you think is it lost?

You can consider water waves, but also sound waves and light behaving as a wave.

Energy is often lost in the form of heat. But, does interfering two sound waves warm up the surroundings?

You can try something. Hold two pocket lamps, each facing the wall. Now, try to make them interfere by having the beam of light cross each other, before hitting the wall. Do you see that the intensity of the light change before and after crossing the two beams?

When waves interfer there is no loss of energy. There is a change in their net amplite or displacment. Hence your question is incorrect. Answer by: www.Physicsdesk.com.
