Interference means two waves meet each other. If the waves are in same phase, they'll enhance each other, creating a bigger wave or a bigger maximum at that point. If they are in opposit phase, they'll undo each other either fully or partially. This is called an destructive interference wave.

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 occurs when the crests of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave?
constructive interference
What is it called when a wave interacts with another wave?
Interference
Does wave interference occurs for all types of waves?
Yes, wave interference occurs for all types of waves.
What another word for constructive interference?
Another name for it is wave interference.
Does interference happen when a wave passes from one medium to another at an angle?
No. Refraction does. A single wave doesn't encounter interference until there's another wave present.
The interference in which waves combine and the resulting wave gets bigger?
Constructive Interference
What type of interference causes the crest of the wave to decrease or cancel out?
Destructive interference
What happens when the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave wave?
constructive interference
Is light Interference a wave or participle?
It "is" neither; however, light interference is related to light's wave-like properties, not to its particle-like properties. Interference is something that affects all sorts of waves.
What is contructive interference?
Constructive interference is in-phase addition of waves, such that wave amplitudes increase.
The direction change on a wave is called?
Interference
