Due to superposition principle.

What is it?

When two or more waves traverse in a medium, they travel as if the other waves were absent. What does it mean?

In case of marbles moving across if they come into contact they would collide and change it path. But as the waves meet together no such material collision and no change in the direction of their motion. Hence that valid statement as the first part of superposition principle.

Now second part is for the interference part. Though there is no collision, but at a particular point in the medium the displacement of the particle in the medium is the resultant of the displacements produced by all the waves at the instant. So if the resultant displacement is minimum then it is termed as destructive interference and if the displacement is maximum then it is considered as the constructive interference.

Waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude in a process called?

This process is called destructive interference. This occurs when two waves collide, where one is in a trough and one is in a crest. If the waves are both a max amplitude, max crest and max trough, there will be complete destructive interference.


Waves combine to make a wave with large amplitude is a process called?

Constructive Interference

Destructive interference.


What process causes a puddle to dry up?

The process is called evaporation.


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.


What type of interference causes the crest of the wave to decrease or cancel out?

Destructive interference
