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 to the frequency and Amplitude when you scream?
amplitude increases (louder the sound is, bigger is the amplitude)
What happens to a wavelength when the amplitude and frequency are both increased?
your mom happenens.
What happens to the frequency of the waves when you increase the rate of vibration?
the amplitude increases
What happens to the size of the amplitude as frequency increases?
The answer depends upon the conditions of the environment. If the available energy to the wave generator is unbounded, then there is no impact on amplitude as frequency increases. However if total energy rate is constant, then the amplitude must decrease as frequency increases in order to maintain the same energy output.
When sound waves of the same frequency and amplitude arrive 180 degrees out of phase what happens?
They canceled

What happens to the loudness of a sound if its amplitude decreases?
It is less loud. Frequency affects what we hear as pitch. Amplitude affects volume.

What happens to the distance between the crests when the amplitude is increased?
Nothing happens. Distance between crests is a measure of frequency; amplitude is a measure of the strength, the height of the wave, or auditory volume of the signal.

They canceled
What happens to a sound wave when it interferes with another sound wave having the same frequency but traveling in the opposite direction?
The Direction of the waves is not the key factor to the result. What is important is the synchronization of each Sine Wave with the other when they meet. Assuming that they are of the same FREQUENCY, if the Peaks are Synch'ed the Volume (amplitude) of the resultant wave is DOUBLED. If they are 180 degrees out of Synch (Phase), they cancel eachother out. Resultant perceived volume equals Zero.
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.
When frequency and voltage of an RC coupled amplifier are kept constant then what happens to the amplitude of output?
There is insufficient information in the question to answer it. Something has to change if you are asking what happens to amplitude, but you did not provide that "something". Please restate the question.
What happens when destructive interference occurs between wave 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.
How many value of amplitude are there in one wavelength of a wave and how is the amplitude related to the energy of a wave?
-- Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional. Their product is constant, and is the speed of the wave. They're entirely unrelated to amplitude or energy. -- A wave with greater amplitude carries more energy than one with smaller amplitude does. -- IF your wave happens to be an electromagnetic one, THEN the energy carried by each quantum is proportional to the frequency.
