They cancel each other.
When the crest, or high point, of one wave passes through the crest of another wave, both of the crests' heights are added into one larger crest. After they pass, each crest becomes its original height that they were before the incident. This phenomena called constructive interference. This also occurs when the trough, or low point, of a wave passes through the trough of another. Now, when the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another, the height and depth of each is added (think of the trough's depth as a negative number) and the resulting amplitude (the distance from the middle of the wave) is "constructed". And once again, after the crest and trough finish passing each other, both crest and trough become their original amplitude that they were before the incident. This phenomena is called destructive interference.
When the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another, it is called wave interference. This can result in constructive interference, where the waves amplify each other, or destructive interference, where they cancel each other out.
When the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another wave, it results in destructive interference. This causes the two waves to partially or completely cancel each other out, leading to a decrease or disappearance of the wave height in that specific area.
The distance from one crest to another crest or one trough to another trough in a wave is called the wavelength. It represents the length of one complete cycle of the wave pattern.
Usually it is shown in diagrams as from where the variable passes across the zero line, but your way will give the same result. It is the length of one complete cycle that matters.
The distance from one trough to another in a wave is called the wavelength. It is the length of one complete cycle of the wave, measured from trough to trough or from crest to crest.
Half the vertical distance from the crest to the trough of a transverse wave is the amplitude of the wave. It represents the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position of a particle in the medium as the wave passes through it.
Destructive interference takes place. Constructive interference occurs when the trough of one wave passes through the crest of another wave
The half the vertical distance between the crest and trough of a transverse wave is called the amplitude. It represents the maximum displacement of a particle from its equilibrium position when a wave passes through a medium.
From crest to crest or trough to trough
False. The wavelength of a wave is actually measured from crest to crest, or trough to trough, not from crest to trough.
The vertical distance between trough and crest is called the height of the wave. While the crest is the highest point of a wave, the trough is the lowest point.Are you talking about waves? That simply depends on the frequency of the wave; crest and trough are just terms given to sections of waves. The crest is the top of the wave, and the trough is the bottom.It's the amplitude. Like on the drawn parts of a transverse wave. You can look it up on google images.wave hight
