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 occurs when sound waves overlap and combine?
interference
Does interference occur when one wave is brighter than another and the fainter wave cannot be observed?
Interference does not occur when one wave is brighter than another, and the fainter wave cannot be observed. It occurs when two or more waves overlap.
When two waves overlap and interfere constructively what does the resulting have?
"higher amplitude"
What occurs when crest overlap crest and troughs overlap troughs?
constructive wave interference, where the crests and troughs 'add' so are increased in amplitude.

Interference does not occur when one wave is brighter than another, and the fainter wave cannot be observed. It occurs when two or more waves overlap.
When two or more waves overlap and combine together is?
interference

What occurs when crest overlap crest and troughs overlap troughs?
constructive wave interference, where the crests and troughs 'add' so are increased in amplitude.
The result of two or more waves overlapping?
The correct answer is ''Interference"
What is the ability of two waves to combine and form a new wave when they overlap?
interference
What is a wave interaction that occurs when two or more waves overlap and combine?
Interference
What takes place when the crests of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave?
The overlap of one wave crest with another can result in interference, which can be constructive (additional) or destructive (reductive) depending on the phase of the wave.
When two waves overlap and interfere constructively what does the resulting wave have?
the amplitudes add together
Ability to form two or more waves to form a new wave when they overlap?
