What is it called when two waves meet and cancel each other out?

When two or more waves meet they have an effect on each other this called?

constructive or destructive interference


When they meet waves?

Interfere with each other. This interference can be either constructive or destructive.


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 waves approach and pass 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.


What is a interference wave?

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.

How can sounds cancel each other out?

Because sounds are made up of waves of compressed and decompressed air, and when two waves meet that are exactly out of phase, or opposite each other, then the total sound produced is zero. See "sound cancellation" in the link below.
