To answer the question "What happens to light energy when light waves interfere destructively at a point?", we can break down the explanation into the following steps:
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understanding Interference**:
- Interference occurs when two or more light waves overlap and combine. This can result in either constructive interference (where the waves add together) or destructive interference (where the waves cancel each other out).
2. **Defining Destructive Interference**:
