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 interaction between waves that meet is?

Interference. This can result in either constructive interference, resulting in increased amplitude, or destructive interference, whereby there would a reduced amplitude.


What happens when destuctive interference occurs between waves with different amplitudes?

Destructive interference occurs when waves with different amplitudes combine to partially or completely cancel each other out, resulting in a wave with reduced amplitude or no amplitude at all in certain regions. The peaks of one wave align with the troughs of another wave, causing them to interfere in a way that reduces the overall amplitude.


How is constructive interference different from destructive?

In physics, interference is a phenomenon in which two waves superpose to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude. Constructive interference occurs when the phase difference between the waves is a multiple of 2pi, whereas destructive interference occurs when the difference is an odd multiple of pi.


What is the difference between constructive and destructive interference?

Constructive interference occurs when two waves meet in phase, resulting in an increase in amplitude. Destructive interference occurs when two waves meet out of phase, resulting in a decrease in amplitude or cancellation of the waves.

Two sound waves of the same frequency can interfere with each other but two sound waves must have different frequencies in order to make beats. Why?

When two sound waves of the same frequency interfere, they can either create constructive interference (amplitude adds up) or destructive interference (amplitude cancels out), leading to changes in loudness. However, for beats to occur, there must be a slight difference in frequency to create interference patterns that result in the perception of amplitude modulation. This difference in frequency introduces variation in the interference pattern, causing the beats to be heard.

What is it called when a combined wave has a smaller amplitude than the original waves?

If the resulting amplitude is smaller, then it's "destructive interference".If the resulting amplitude is larger, then it's "constructive interference".Looks like the name you give it depends on which wave you're more interested in.When a large wave and a small wave interfere, the resulting amplitude can belarger than either one, smaller than either one, or midway between them.If the resulting amplitude is midway between the individual amplitudes, and youwere using the larger one to communicate with, then from your point of view, theinterference is destructive. If you were more interested in the smaller one, thenas far as you're concerned the same interference is constructive.


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

wave interference. This occurs when two or more waves interact with each other to form a single wave with a larger (constructive interference) or smaller (destructive interference) amplitude. The resulting wave is determined by the phase relationship between the individual waves.


Distinguish between constructive interference and destructive interference?

Constructive interferences occur when two waves combine (add up) by the superpostition principle. Destructive interferences occur when the crest of one wave interferes with the trough of another. Amplitudes are subtracted.


How do interference in waves work?

Interference in waves occurs when two or more waves overlap in the same medium, either amplifying or canceling each other out. Constructive interference happens when waves combine to create a wave with greater amplitude, while destructive interference occurs when waves combine to produce a wave with smaller amplitude. The specific outcome depends on the phase relationship between the waves.


Interaction between two seismic waves that meet is called?

The interaction between two seismic waves that meet is called interference. Interference can result in constructive interference, where the amplitudes of the waves combine to create a larger wave, or destructive interference, where the amplitudes partially or completely cancel each other out.
