When the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another, this produces destructive interference. If both original waves are equal in amplitude, then nothing will remain. The waves completely cancel out. However, if one waver is larger in amplitude, then there will still be a wave left over after they meet, but it will be smaller. The amplitude of the new wave will be the larger wave amplitude minus the smaller wave amplitude one. The opposite can also occur. If the crests of two waves overlap, then it produces constructive interference (resulting in one larger wave).

When two waves overlap the displacement of the medium is the sum of the displacements of the two individual waves is what principle?
superposition
When two waves overlap and interfere constructively what does the resulting have?
"higher amplitude"
What is a wave interaction that occurs when two or more waves overlap and combine?
Interference
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.
What is it called when waves travel through each other and the crests overlap with crests and troughs over lap with troughs?
Standing Waves.
When two waves meet and overlap?
diffraction
The result of two or more waves overlapping?
The correct answer is ''Interference"
What happens when two crests of two waves overlap?
The amplitudes add.
When two waves overlap the displacement of the medium is the sum of the displacements of the two individual waves is what principle?
superposition
When two or more waves overlap and combine together is?
interference
When two waves overlap and interfere constructively what does the resulting have?
"higher amplitude"
What happens when two waves overlap?
It depends. if the waves are in sync with each other, they will amplify. If they are out of sync, they will be negated.
Ability of two or more waves to form new wave when they overlap?
Resonance.
What is the ability of two or waves to form a new wave when they overlap?
Wave amplification
What is a wave interaction that occurs when two or more waves overlap and combine?
Interference
What is the ability of two waves to combine and form a new wave when they overlap?
interference
