a peak of ond wave instantaneously merges with the trough, or bottom part of another wave and in that moment there is neither a peak or a trough so there is no wave; this is called destructive interference. the opposite can also happen when two peaks and troughs merge and create amplified waves; this is called constructive interference.

When two waves meet and cancel each other out what kind of interference occurs?

well think about it... if they cancel each other out, are they constructive or destructive?


When does interference occur?

When two out-of-phase waves combine and cancel each other out.


When two waves combine and the crest is greater than either of the waves by themself?

Not necessarily. The two waves could cancel each other out.


What is it called when two waves meet and cancel each other out?

That is called destructive interference.


Why does a node in a standing wave have zero displacement?

a node results from the superposition of two waves going in the opposite directions. Where the node is, the two waves cancel each other out.


What do you hear when 2 sounds waves cancel each other out?

When two waves interact via deconstructive interference, then you would hear nothing if you stood in that exact spot. If two waves interact via constructive interference, then you would hear a sound that is the sum of both waves.


The effect of two or more waves interacting that caused them to cancel out is?

When two waves interact and their amplitudes cancel out what interference has occurred?

A trough meeting a crest causes the wave to cancel each other out, thus being at rest. Answer2: Destructive interference.


How can sounds cancel each other out?

Because sounds are made up of waves of compressed and decompressed air, and when two waves meet that are exactly out of phase, or opposite each other, then the total sound produced is zero. See "sound cancellation" in the link below.


What is the size of two forces which cancel each other out?

If they cancel, then their magnitudes must be equal.


Examples of the application of interfrence of sound waves?

Since the two waves 180 degrees out of phase cancel each other you can use interference for noise dampening. Pick up the sound and generate a signal that cancels it.


Do two acids cancel out each other?

no it makes it stronger
