What is it called when waves combine with each other?
interference
When does Destructive interference occur?
Constructive interference occurs when the crest of one wave passes through, and adds itself to, the crest of an 'adjacent' wave. This combination is said to be additive. Rogue Waves are actual and can be quite destructive.
What occurs when more than one wave moves through the same medium at the same time?
When more than one wave moves through the same medium at the same time, they interfere with each other. Depending on the relative phase and amplitude of the waves, interference can result in constructive or destructive interference. Constructive interference occurs when the waves combine to form a larger amplitude wave, while destructive interference occurs when the waves cancel each other out, resulting in a smaller or no wave.
Distinguish between constructive interference and destructive interference?
Constructive interferences occur when two waves combine (add up) by the superpostition principle. Destructive interferences occur when the crest of one wave interferes with the trough of another. Amplitudes are subtracted.
When does interference occur?
When two out-of-phase waves combine and cancel each other out.

When two out-of-phase waves combine and cancel each other out.
What happens when two sound waves combine if the crest of one wave meets the crest of the other?
for apex learners it is the sound becomes softer or disappears
Using the concept of interference explain why the sound levels in the room vary?
The sound levels in the room vary because when its loud the waves combine by constructive interference, the combined wave has a larger amplitude than the original waves did but when its soft the two waves with the same amplitude combine by destructive interference, they cancel each other out.
Do waves that are out of phase ad together to make a bigger wave?
No. Waves that are out of phase (negative interference) will essentially cancel each other out. Waves that are in phase with each other (positive interference) will combine to create a larger wave.
What occurs when the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another wave?
If a pulse "interferes" with another pulse, they build each other up to form supercrests or supertroughs. This process is known as constructive interference.
When two waves meet and cancel each other out what kind of interference occurs?
well think about it... if they cancel each other out, are they constructive or destructive?
The ability of 2 or more waves to combine and form a new wave?
Normally, two waves do not combine to form a new wave. Two waves approaching from almost the same direction will slowly cross each other. At the point where the waves cross, they will briefly make one wave. Its height can be calculated by a formula which multiplies the height of each wave by a sine function and adds the results.
