coherent waves are waves of the same frequency (same wavelength) and constant phase difference.

constructive interference
Constructive interference occurs when waves meet at point in the medium in phase or having phase difference as integral multiples of 2pi
In physics, interference is a phenomenon in which two waves superpose to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude. Constructive interference occurs when the phase difference between the waves is a multiple of 2pi, whereas destructive interference occurs when the difference is an odd multiple of pi.
No, that would be destructive interference. One crest + one trough = nothing, a flat line.
Constructive Interference
constructive
If a pulse "interferes" with another pulse, they build each other up to form supercrests or supertroughs. This process is known as constructive interference.

Constructive Interference
constructive wave interference, where the crests and troughs 'add' so are increased in amplitude.
Constructive interferences occur when two waves combine (add up) by the superpostition principle. Destructive interferences occur when the crest of one wave interferes with the trough of another. Amplitudes are subtracted.
