What is the result of two waves over laping?
I'm guessing you're talking about Transverse waves? eg. ~ Waves consist of two parts - a crest and a trough. The crest are the high points, and a trough is the low points. When a crest meets another crest, the wave is amplified, causing constructive interference (the crests add to each other). The same thing occurs when a trough meets a trough. However, when a crest meets a trough, the wave is diminished, causing destructive interference (the crest and trough cancel each other out).
What happens when the trough of one wave meets the crest of another?
they annihilate each other
What is the measurement of a wave from crest to crest or trough to trough called?
The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two identical parts of a wave in successive periods (crest to crest, trough to trough, etc.).
Constructive interference occurs when the crest of one wave meets up with the trough of a second wave true or false?
false
What part of a wave is the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Wavelength
What are four exsamples of constructive forces?
1) Crest of one wave meets the crest of other wave OR Trough of one wave meets the trough of other wave.

What is a trough and a crest?
it has to do with waves. trough- is the bottom of the wave crest- is the top of the wave
The two main parts of a wave are the?
The two main parts of a wave are the crest and the trough. The crest is the high part of the wave and the trough is the bottom.
The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Is the wave length
Constructive interference occurs when the crest of one wave meets up with the trough of a second wave true or false?
false
What is the height of the crest or trough?
The height of a wave crest or depth of a trough is called the amplitude of the wave.
What is wavelength in scince?
The distance from a crest to a crest or a trough to a trough in a wave.
What part of a wave is the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?
Wavelength
How do you measure wavelength on a transverse wave?
1 wavelength in a transverse wave is equal too the distance between crest and crest or trough and trough
