Depends where.
If a peak meets a peak, then the amplitude of that peak will increase.
Same with troughs.
However if the waves have the same amplitude, and a peak meets a trough, they will cancel out, and you will be left with a dead spot, not affected by the wave.

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.
Interaction between two seismic waves that meet is called?
when two waves interact to produce a wave of larger amplitude, the interaction is called
Two waves meet at the same time when one has a instantaneous amplitude of A and the other has the instantaneous amplitude of B Their combined amplitude at this time is?
The amplitudes simply superimpose so it becomes A + B.
What happens when two waves of the same frequency meet?
nkln
What is it called when the crest of two waves overlap and result in an increased wave amplitude?
Superimposing of waves is when two or more waves travel through the same medium and intersect. The net displacement is the addition of the waves amplitude. If they are in phase they increase amplitude; out of phase, the amplitude decreases.

When two waves pass each other what happens?
When two waves meet, wave interference occurs, causing them both to take on a different shape at the moment they meet.
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.
What happens when two waves approach and passes each other?
When the two waves meet, a wave interference occurs, causing them both to take on a different shape at the moment they meet.
If two waves overlap in the following manner what type of interference will result?
it doesnt matter whether the waves meet at the surface or underwater but when this happens, the waves superpose each other that is cancel out their crests and troughs resulting in a destructive wave with an amplitude or wavelength of zero which is diagramly a straight line (no wave). so if this happens underwater, nothing shows at the surface. send more of your questions in physics to enekaith@yahoo.com
What happens if 2 light waves with the same amplitude interfere?
Their amplitude is not the important variable - their frequency is . If two light waves of the same frequency interact, then an interference pattern will be seen. This is the basis of the 'double slit' experiment designed to demonstrate that light may be considered to indeed be waves.
When two waves overlap and interfere destructively what does he resulting wave have?
"lower amplitude"
