What is it called when a combined wave has a smaller amplitude than the original waves?

If the resulting amplitude is smaller, then it's "destructive interference".
If the resulting amplitude is larger, then it's "constructive interference".
Looks like the name you give it depends on which wave you're more interested in.
When a large wave and a small wave interfere, the resulting amplitude can be
larger than either one, smaller than either one, or midway between them.
If the resulting amplitude is midway between the individual amplitudes, and you
were using the larger one to communicate with, then from your point of view, the
interference is destructive. If you were more interested in the smaller one, then
as far as you're concerned the same interference is constructive.

Smaller and smaller computers is called?
It is called a Notebook.
What is two or more substances that are together but not combined called?
This is called a mixture.
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.
What is a combination of two or more substance that are not chemically combined called?
This is called a mixture.
What is copper and oxygen called when its combined?
copper oxide
What is it called when a combined wave has a smaller amplitude than the origanal waves?
superposition
What is it called when's. Combined wave has a larger amplitude than the original waves?
That is called reinforcement.
What is it called when a combined wave has a larger amplitude than the original wave?
constructive interference
What is it called when a combined wave has larger amplitude than the original wave?
constructive interference
If Waves combine to produce a smaller or zero amplitude in a process called what?
Destructive interference.
When the crest of one wave overlaps the crests of another wave what is it called?
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).
What interference occours when waves add up to make a wave with a smaller or zero amplitude?
That is called destructive interference.
What is maximum displacement of the wave from equilibrium called?
The term for maximum displacement is the amplitude of the wave.
What is it called when two waves overlap?

What is the size of a vibration called?
It is called the amplitude.
The Greatest Distance the knot travels from its resting position is what called?
xcvb
What does TCP break messages into?
TCP breaks the original message into smaller pieces, called segments.
