Что происходит, когда две световые волны стирают друг друга

Two beams of light meet at the same spot — and instead of doubling the brightness, they produce total darkness. No dimness. No shadow. Pure nothing. It sounds impossible. Energy cannot just vanish. Yet this phenomenon, called destructive interference, happens every single day in physics labs around the world. So where does the energy go?
