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 is it called when a combined wave has larger amplitude than the original wave?

constructive interference


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).


What interference of light?

Interference of light is a phenomenon where two or more light waves superpose to form a resultant wave of greater, lower, or the same intensity. This can lead to the amplification or cancellation of certain characteristics of the light, resulting in interference patterns such as bright and dark fringes.


What does the amplitude determine?

The amplitude of a wave determines its intensity or energy. In simpler terms, it represents the maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position. The greater the amplitude, the greater the energy carried by the wave.


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?

Sounds with higher amplitude have greater energy than sounds with higher frequency. Amplitude corresponds to the intensity or loudness of a sound, while frequency relates to pitch. In general, the energy of a sound wave is proportional to its amplitude squared.


What happens to the volume of sound as the amplitude get larger?

The greater the amplitude of a sound wave the louder the sound.


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.
