When two waves interface can the amplitude of the resultant wave be greater than either of the two original waves?

Yes. In some places it will be greater. In other places there will be destructive interference, and the resulting wave will be smaller than either, perhaps even zero.

What affects absolute brightness?
Brightness corresponds to amplitude of waves. Greater amplitude means greater brightness (so lower amplitude means less brightness).
Is the air pressure greater during wavelength or amplitude?
probably wavelength
How is constructive interference different from destructive?
In physics, interference is a phenomenon in which two waves superpose to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude. Constructive interference occurs when the phase difference between the waves is a multiple of 2pi, whereas destructive interference occurs when the difference is an odd multiple of pi.
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 the direct measure of energy from mechanical wave?
Amplitude is the direct measure of energy from a mechanical wave.=Waves are produced by something (a medium) vibrating. The farther the medium moves as it vibrates, the larger the amplitude of the resulting wave. For example, you can increase the amplitude of a wave on a rope by moving your hand up and down a greater distance. To do this you have to use more energy. The energy is transfered to the rope. The greater amplitude is a direct measure of the increased energy.=
What interference of light?
The interference of light refers to a phenomenon whereby two waves superpose to form a resultant wave of lower or greater amplitude.
What is constructive and destructive?
Constructive interference can be a confusing concept when called interference. It is wave interference that is moving in phase with another wave. This causes the waves to for a resultant wave with a greater amplitude. Destructive interference is wave interference that is moving out of phase with another wave. These waves form a resultant wave of lower amplitude.
What is the relationship between a wave's amplitude and energy?
The energy and the amplitude are related in such a way that, the greater the amplitude the greater is the energy. The sound pressure amplitude tells about how loud the tone will be.
What is the relationship between the amplitude and the height of the wave?
amplitude is equal to one half of the wave height the greater the energy of the wave the greater its amplitude
What affects absolute brightness?
Brightness corresponds to amplitude of waves. Greater amplitude means greater brightness (so lower amplitude means less brightness).
How is the loudness related to amplitude?
The higher the amplitude the greater is the psychoacoustic feeling of the loudness.
Can the magnitude of a resultant vector be greater than the sum of individual vectors?
The resultant vector IS the sum of the individual vectors. Its magnitudecan be the sum of their individual magnitudes or less, but not greater.
What has the greater energy sounds with the higher amplitude or sound wave with higher frequency?
Yes. And higher frequency means higher pitch. It is not pitch that produces loudness it only accentuates tone/ Loudness is controlled by volume of output.
What happens to the volume of sound as the amplitude get larger?
The greater the amplitude of a sound wave the louder the sound.
How does the amplitude of a wave relate to its crests and trough?
The greater the amplitude, the higher the crests and lower the troughs.
What is an amplitude of a sound?
Amplitude is typically represented as being the "height" of a sound wave. A sound that is louder will have a greater amplitude than a quieter sound.
The more what a mechanical wave has the greater its amplitude?
