Want this question answered?
Waves cancel each other out because of their same amplitude but in different directions.
When the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another, this produces destructive interference. If both original waves are equal in amplitude, then nothing will remain. The waves completely cancel out. However, if one waver is larger in amplitude, then there will still be a wave left over after they meet, but it will be smaller. The amplitude of the new wave will be the larger wave amplitude minus the smaller wave amplitude one. The opposite can also occur. If the crests of two waves overlap, then it produces constructive interference (resulting in one larger wave).
When more than one wave moves through the same medium at the same time, they interfere with each other. Depending on the relative phase and amplitude of the waves, interference can result in constructive or destructive interference. Constructive interference occurs when the waves combine to form a larger amplitude wave, while destructive interference occurs when the waves cancel each other out, resulting in a smaller or no wave.
Constructive interference occurs when the crest of one wave passes through, and adds itself to, the crest of an 'adjacent' wave. This combination is said to be additive. Rogue Waves are actual and can be quite destructive.
A trough meeting a crest causes the wave to cancel each other out, thus being at rest. Answer2: Destructive interference.

The sound levels in the room vary because when its loud the waves combine by constructive interference, the combined wave has a larger amplitude than the original waves did but when its soft the two waves with the same amplitude combine by destructive interference, they cancel each other out.

When waves act together, you talk about "interference".When they reinforce each other, it is "constructive interference".When they cancel each other, it is "destructive interference".
Interference. Constructive Interference, which is where the waves increase amplitudes and troughs when they overlap. Destructive Interference, which is where the waves cancel each other out when they overlap.
well think about it... if they cancel each other out, are they constructive or destructive?
when two waves superimposed on each other in the same phase (phase diff is 0), then the resultant amplitude becomes the sum of the amplitudes of the two waves. This type of interference is called constructive interference. on the other hand, when two waves superimposed on each other in the opposit phase (phase diff is 180 degree), then the resultant amplitude becomes the difference of the amplitudes of the two waves. This type of interference is called destructive interference.
Interference. This can result in either constructive interference, resulting in increased amplitude, or destructive interference, whereby there would a reduced amplitude.
When two out-of-phase waves combine and cancel each other out.
