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 2 identical signals are out of phase the result is?
A decrease in intensity or amplitude
Wave A has an amplitude of 3 and wave B has an amplitude of 3 What will happen when the trough of wave A meets the trough of wave B?
Constructive interference which theoretically would result in a 6 amplitude as long as the frequency and wavelength of the 2 waves are the same.
What does amplitude of a sound wave determine?
Amplitude is the volume of the sound in sound waves. The higher the Amplitude, the louder is the sound. Sound waves are pressure or compression waves in the material through which the sound is traveling. The pressure or compression waves also result in small longitudinal displacements of the atoms or molecules. The amplitude of the sound wave determines the range of variation of pressure, compression, or displacement.
What occurs when waves and combine?
If waves are going opposite directions: If the two waves have the same amplitude and frequency, they will cancel each other out, resulting in a flatline. If one has a greater amplitude, it will "absorb" the smaller one and the result will be a wave with amplitude of the difference between the two original waves, going in the direction of the first wave with greater amplitude. If they're going the same direction: If the waves have the same frequency and phase, the will simply add on to each other, resulting in a larger wave. If the two have the same frequency but different phase, some parts of the waves will be offset to result in a wave with different amplitude but same frequency (depending how off-phase the waves are). If they have the same frequency and exactly opposite phases, the two will offset into a flatline. If they have different frequency, then it will result in a completely different wave with different frequency, phase, and amplitude.
What happens to the amplitude of a wave during constructive interference?
During constructive interference, the amplitude of a wave increases. This occurs when two waves of the same frequency and similar amplitudes align their peaks and troughs. As a result, their amplitudes add up, resulting in a higher overall amplitude.
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 occurs when two or more waves overlap and combine?
They superpose. Energy of the waves are redistributed to form a resultant wave with amplitude given by the summation of individual wave's amplitude. If the two waves are of same frequency, speed and amplitude and travelling in opposite direction den stationary waves are form.
When the magnetc fields of two or more magnets overlap what is the result?
It sticks

The result of two or more waves overlapping?
The correct answer is ''Interference"

What is the result of each instruments several pitches blending together through interference?
Amplitude
Which development was a result of increased urbanization during the Industrial Revolution?
increased pollution
Wave A has an amplitude of 3 and wave B has an amplitude of 3 What will happen when the trough of wave A meets the trough of wave B?
Constructive interference which theoretically would result in a 6 amplitude as long as the frequency and wavelength of the 2 waves are the same.
Two sound waves of equal amplitude with slightly different frequencies will result in?
A beat frequency.
What means p bond?
A p bond is the result of the sideways overlap of two parallel p orbitals.
