Can be either constructive or destructive. Sound waves?
The terms "constructive" and "destructive", in relation to waves, refer to interference. There can be interference with any kind of waves.
What type of interference occurs when two waves are in phase?
Constructive
Constructive interference occurs when the amplitudes of two waves combine to produce a wave with a smaller amplitude?
It's called Constructive. (:Just found the answer.
What type of interference occurs when waves meet crest to crest or trough to trough?
No, that would be destructive interference. One crest + one trough = nothing, a flat line.
The combining of waves as they meet is known as?
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.

What are two ways that waves are affected by interference?
Constructive and destructive. These are the two extremes.
What term means 2 waves interacting?
Interference. It can either be destructive or constructive.
When they meet waves?
Interfere with each other. This interference can be either constructive or destructive.
Lowest frequency at which destructive interference is observed?
Constructive and destructive interference can occur at any frequency. Superposition of waves is not dependent on a specific frequency.
The combining of waves as they meet is known as?
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.
What is constructive and destructive?
Constructive interference can be a confusing concept when called interference. It is wave interference that is moving in phase with another wave. This causes the waves to for a resultant wave with a greater amplitude. Destructive interference is wave interference that is moving out of phase with another wave. These waves form a resultant wave of lower amplitude.
How is constructive interference different from destructive?
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.
What is it called when waves travel as a group?
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".
