Where two waves interfere the displacment where two troughs meet is?

When two waves interfere, the displacement where two troughs meet is negative.


What is troughs?

A trough wave is the lowest part between two crest waves.


What is the time between the passage of two waves crests or troughs at a fixed point?

wavelength


What is troughs wave?

A trough wave is the lowest part between two crest waves.


When two waves interfere the displacement where two troughs meet is positive negative zero or a crest?

Negative


What happens to the amplitude of a wave during constructive interference?

During constructive interference, the amplitude of a wave increases. This occurs when two waves of the same frequency and similar amplitudes align their peaks and troughs. As a result, their amplitudes add up, resulting in a higher overall amplitude.


Light waves of one wavelength that travels with its crests and troughs aligned is called what?

Light waves of a single wavelength is known as being coherent. This allows constructive interference which occurs when two or more waves are in phase i.e. their crests and troughs are aligned.

What type of interference occurs when two waves are in phase?

Constructive


If two waves overlap in the following manner what type of interference will result?

it doesnt matter whether the waves meet at the surface or underwater but when this happens, the waves superpose each other that is cancel out their crests and troughs resulting in a destructive wave with an amplitude or wavelength of zero which is diagramly a straight line (no wave). so if this happens underwater, nothing shows at the surface. send more of your questions in physics to enekaith@yahoo.com


What happens when two sound waves collide?

Ummmmm, NO. Ignore that. This describes an Echo. Assuming a perfectly smooth surface, the reflected wave travels away from the reflector in accordance with the usual angle of incidence = angle of reflection, diminishing with the square of the distance. Not all the energy is reflected fully. Some is scattered or absorbed by the reflecting surface. If the sound is reflected back and forth in a chaotic overlap the result is reverberation, as in a cathedral or in the ocean. In the sea reverberation gives whale calls that plangent "singing" quality, from what are really only squawks and grunts.
