smaller in amplitude: sin(x), -3/2 sin(x) cancel out to become -sin(x)/2, which has a smaller amplitude
smaller wavelength: sin(x), sin(x), "combine" them by multiplying together. The wavelength is reduced by 2
If you are looking for an addition of waves that gets the smaller wavelength of a sine wave, here is the simplest one I can find. It is an infinite addition, and the result is sin(2x), a wave that has a smaller wavelength than the individual waves:
sum from k=0 to infinity of sin(k*pi/2+z0)(2x-z0)k / k!

What is A wave that is a combination of longitude and transverse wave?
The combination of a transverse waves and a longitudinal waves produce surface waves. The waves found in water are a good example. When a wave moves through the waver, particles travel in clockwise circles, and the radius of the circles decreases as the depth into the water increases.
Which is not a type of electromagnetic wave?
Sound waves aren't an electromagnetic wave. So aren't seismic waves. So aren't waves in the ocean, in your hair, or waves bye-bye.
Which waves come first P-waves L-waves or S-waves?
P-waves have the highest velocity so arrive first. Please see the related question for further information on the factors affecting seismic wave velocity.
Why is the size of a wave important to coastal erosion?
Larger waves will pack more of a mechanical 'punch' than smaller waves, carrying and delivering more erosive energy.
What is the difference between seismic wave and tsunami?
A tsunami wave is a wave of energy that travels through water, while a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through earth.
What is a combination of waves that form a larger wave?
constructive wave :)
Combination of waves from a larger wave?
inference
A combination of waves form a larger wave is called?
Constructive inference.. :)
Is p wave larger s wave surface wave or tsunamis?
Neither. P and S waves are body waves. Tsunamis are a different matter entirely.

What waves have the most light waves?
Light wave is an electromagnetic wave, so light waves are a kind of wave. I don't understand what you mean by what waves have the most light waves. It's not possible to emit a combination of different kinds of waves (such mechanical, EM wave, sound wave) from a single source.
What two waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude?
syncronized
A combination of waves form a lager wave?
Reinforcement.
Constructive interference results in a wave with a?
It results in a wave with an amplitude which is equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the waves passing at that point.
Two waves that interfere completely result in a wave with a larger amplitude than either of the two initial waves.?
Regardless of the frequency of the wave, all sound:
A combination of waves form a smaller wave?
Destructive interference.
What is a combination of waves that form a smaller wave?
destructive interference.
