True.


Sometimes waves interfere with one another. What type of interference occurs when the crests of one wave and the troughs of another wave overlap?

destructive interference


Sound waves can interfere with one another so that no sound results?

Yes they can. It's called destructive interference. When 2 sound waves converge on each other and the waves are 180 degrees out of phase then they will destructively interfere and the net effect will be the negation of both waves so you hear nothing.


Can sound waves show interference?

Interference of sound waves occurs when one sound wave is not in phase with another. Graphically, this means that the sin/cos function representing the second wave does not line up exactly with the first one and the differences in sounds that result interfere with each other.


Can light waves and sound waves interfere with each other if yes why?

They can't interfere.

Is interference a property of only some types of waves or all?

All waves interfere, like the waves on water surface the single waves add up and create a brand new wave.


Where two waves interfere the displacment where two troughs meet is?

When two waves interfere, the displacement where two troughs meet is negative.


What happens when two or more waves are in the same location?

They interfere.
