When two waves interact via deconstructive interference, then you would hear nothing if you stood in that exact spot. If two waves interact via constructive interference, then you would hear a sound that is the sum of both waves.

When two waves meet and cancel each other out what kind of interference occurs?
well think about it... if they cancel each other out, are they constructive or destructive?
When does interference occur?
When two out-of-phase waves combine and cancel each other out.
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".
What is it called when two waves meet and cancel each other out?
That is called destructive interference.
What effect causes sounds from two sources to cancel each other out?
Destructive interference.
How can sounds cancel each other out?
Because sounds are made up of waves of compressed and decompressed air, and when two waves meet that are exactly out of phase, or opposite each other, then the total sound produced is zero. See "sound cancellation" in the link below.
Can audio sound waves cancel each other out?
yes

When two waves combine and the crest is greater than either of the waves by themself?
Not necessarily. The two waves could cancel each other out.
What effect causes sounds from two sources to cancel each other out?
Destructive interference.
Do waves that are out of phase ad together to make a bigger wave?
No. Waves that are out of phase (negative interference) will essentially cancel each other out. Waves that are in phase with each other (positive interference) will combine to create a larger wave.
Why do successive one after the other waves that arrive at the beach have different heights?
Waves interact with each other as they move. Sometimes their angle is such that they cancel each other out and flatten. Other times they line up in a way that makes them amplify each other.
What happens during destructive interference?
Waves cancel each other out because of their same amplitude but in different directions.
Why does a node in a standing wave have zero displacement?
a node results from the superposition of two waves going in the opposite directions. Where the node is, the two waves cancel each other out.
