When two waves are in the same place at the same time they combine to produce a single wave?

only if the waves are IN PHASE. This means if you are looking at a diagram of 2 waves going at each other, both waves have to be the same size, wavelength, AND on the same side of the diagram, whether its on the top or bottom. If one wave is on the bottom and the other on top, but has the same size, it will produce a standing wave.

Is it true that contructive interfecence occurs when amplitudes of two waves combine to produce a wave with a smaller amplitude?
Constructive interference occurs when amplitudes of two waves combine to produce a wave with a larger amplitude.If a wave with a smaller amplitude is produced, destructive interference has occurred.
When two or more waves arrive at the same place at the same time what do they do?
I don't know the right one, but one these for is correct: a) turn around b) bend toward the normal c) stop d) combine Its D, combine
Do ultraviolet waves produce thermal energy?
They technically are not "hot" per se....they are forms of radiation.
Do all EM waves transfer matter from place to place?
False. EM Waves do not transfer matter, they transfer energy.
What kind of waves produce light?
Light has the property of being an electromagnetic wave.

What occurs when two or more waves combine to form a single wave?
interference
What occurs when two waves combine to produce a wave with a larger displacement?
Constructive Interference
If Waves combine to produce a smaller or zero amplitude in a process called what?
Destructive interference.
The energy produced by elctromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves carry energy from place to place, but they don't produce it. You have to produce the energy that you want them to carry.

Constructive interference occurs when amplitudes of two waves combine to produce a wave with a larger amplitude.If a wave with a smaller amplitude is produced, destructive interference has occurred.
What causes two sound waves to combine and produce no sound?
This is known as 'Sound Cancellation' or deconstructive interference. It occurs when two waves 180º out of phase of and of equal magnitude combine. The resulting wave has zero magnitude and thus cannot be heard.
How can two square waves be combined in an electronic circuit?
If they are the same voltage a logic gate could combine them in various ways. A ring modulator fed from two square waves would make interesting sounds. An op-amp would combine the waves. A single fet would combine them. One signal flowing from source to drain modulated by the second frequency applied to the gate.
What happen when two waves pulses occupy the same place in time?
They can combine constructively or destructively, depending on their phase.
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
How does a wave form?
This occurs when transverse waves and longitudinal waves combine!
