What happens when two waves encounter one another in destructive interference?
Homefries311
Destructive interference happens when the crest of one wave and the troughs of another wave overlap. The new wave has a smaller amplitude than the original waves had. When the waves involved in destructive interference have the same amplitude and meet each other at just the right time, the result is no wave at all.

∙ 16y agoThe last term in the total irradiance equation from optical physics is known as the "interference term". That interference term will indicate the total magnitude of interference and the sign will indicate whether the interference is destructive (-) or constructive (+). The total irradiance equation is: Itot = I1 + I2 + 2*SQRT(I1*I2)cos(A) where angle 'A' is the phase angle between the E-fields of the two interfering waves. If 'A' is greater than 90 degrees and less than or equal to 180 degrees, the interference is destructive. Note that if 'A' equals 90 degrees, there is zero interference. If 'A' is between 0 degrees and 90 degrees, the interference is constructive.

Constructive Interference is caused by interaction with other Wave Energy that increases the Amplitude of the resultant Wave Energy.
Destructive Interference is caused by interaction with other Wave Energy that decreases the Amplitude of the resultant Wave Energy.

What happens when two wave encounter each other in destructive interference?
i dont know someone else answer this
What happens when destuctive interference occurs between waves with different amplitudes?
Destructive interference lowers the amplitude, the lowest amplitude will be the difference between the two waves.
What happens during destructive interference?
Waves cancel each other out because of their same amplitude but in different directions.
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 happens when the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave wave?
constructive interference

What happens when destructive interference occurs waves with different amplitude?
It depends on the frequency of the waves. Are we assuming here that one wave is acting as destructive interference to another wave?. If they have the same frequency, then the amplitudes should combine to produce a wave with a smaller amplitude than the original (two?) waves. Otherwise your results will vary.
What happens when destructive interference between waves with different amplitudes?
It depends on the frequency of the waves. Are we assuming here that one wave is acting as destructive interference to another wave?. If they have the same frequency, then the amplitudes should combine to produce a wave with a smaller amplitude than the original (two?) waves. Otherwise your results will vary.

What is the definition of 'constructive interference'?
Constructive interference is and interference that happens in any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction. Destructive interference is interference that happens at any place along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction.

What are two types of interference?
Proactive interference occurs when old memories interfere with the ability to remember new information. Retroactive interference happens when newly learned information interferes with the recall of older memories.
What happens when the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave wave?
constructive interference
What happens when a wave amplitude interferes with another wave amplitude of the same frequency?
They could undergo constructive interference in which the amplitudes of the two waves combine. For example, a wave with an amplitude of 2 units overlaps with another wave with an amplitude of 2 units, the overlapping amplitude will be 4 units. They could also undergo destructive interference in which the amplitude of one wave is 2 units and the amplitude of the second wave is -2 units. At the point where they meet, the combined amplitude will be zero.
Why two distant flash lights will not produce an interference pattern?
Yes, all waves create interference (such as light waves)
