The lower the trough is the higher the crest is. If you are using this in Mr. Kludt's Physical Science class in Winner High School he counts this answer as right...at least he did in 2011/2012 when i was a freshman.

What type of interference occurs when waves meet crest to crest or trough to trough?

Constructive interference occurs when waves meet crest to crest or trough to trough, resulting in a stronger wave that is the sum of the individual waves.


The interference in which waves combine and the resulting wave gets bigger?

Constructive interference occurs when waves combine in phase, resulting in a larger amplitude wave. This happens when the crest of one wave aligns with the crest of another wave, or the trough aligns with the trough, reinforcing each other's amplitudes.


What is the result of two waves over laping?

I'm guessing you're talking about Transverse waves? eg. ~ Waves consist of two parts - a crest and a trough. The crest are the high points, and a trough is the low points. When a crest meets another crest, the wave is amplified, causing constructive interference (the crests add to each other). The same thing occurs when a trough meets a trough. However, when a crest meets a trough, the wave is diminished, causing destructive interference (the crest and trough cancel each other out).


Constructive interference occurs when the crest of one wave meets up with the trough of a second wave true or false?

False. Constructive interference occurs when the crest of one wave meets up with the crest of a second wave, or when the trough of one wave meets up with the trough of a second wave. This results in a wave with greater amplitude.


What occurs when crest overlap crest and troughs overlap troughs?

When crests overlap crests, they reinforce each other and create a larger amplitude wave. When troughs overlap troughs, they also reinforce each other and create a larger trough. This phenomenon is known as constructive interference.

When crests overlap crests, they reinforce each other and create a larger amplitude wave. When troughs overlap troughs, they also reinforce each other and create a larger trough. This phenomenon is known as constructive interference.


What is it called when the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another?

When the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another, it is called wave interference. This can result in constructive interference, where the waves amplify each other, or destructive interference, where they cancel each other out.


Wave A has an amplitude of 3 and wave B has an amplitude of 3 What will happen when the trough of wave A meets the trough of wave B?

When the trough of wave A meets the trough of wave B, their amplitudes will add up, resulting in a trough with an amplitude of 6. This is known as constructive interference, where the two waves reinforce each other.


When the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another wave takes place.?

Destructive interference takes place. Constructive interference occurs when the trough of one wave passes through the crest of another wave


Waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude in a process called?

This process is called destructive interference. This occurs when two waves collide, where one is in a trough and one is in a crest. If the waves are both a max amplitude, max crest and max trough, there will be complete destructive interference.


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.


What will occur when the trough of Wave A overlaps the trough of Wave B?

When the trough of Wave A overlaps the trough of Wave B, the two troughs will combine to create a larger and deeper trough, increasing the amplitude of the resulting wave. This phenomenon is known as constructive interference and results in a more significant 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.
