How does a standing wave show both constructive and destructive interference?

the waves create a pattern of crests and troughs that do not seem to be moving. because the wave pattern stays in one place it is called a standing wave.

What is formed when constructive and destructive interference occur at the same time in a wave?
How? Pick one. Will not have both.
What is it called when two waves overlap?
When the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another, this produces destructive interference. If both original waves are equal in amplitude, then nothing will remain. The waves completely cancel out. However, if one waver is larger in amplitude, then there will still be a wave left over after they meet, but it will be smaller. The amplitude of the new wave will be the larger wave amplitude minus the smaller wave amplitude one. The opposite can also occur. If the crests of two waves overlap, then it produces constructive interference (resulting in one larger wave).
What is total destructive interference?
It is very interesting phenomenon in nature. Actually when two waves traverse in the same medium each wave would go as if the other were absent. This is very very important concept. This means that there is no chance for any wave to push the other wave as they come across. Have you heard about the scattering of wave due to another wave? No it is not possible. But the disturbance produced by one wave at one location could be altered by the disturbance produced by another at the same location. This effect is termed as interference. If both meeting waves have crest or trough at the same time then both get added and so it is termed as CONSTRUCTIVE interference. But if both meet in such a way that crest and trough meet, then DESTRUCTIVE interference is produced. If the amplitude of the two waves are the same, then the resultant amplitude due to destructive interference will be ZERO. Hence total destruction!
Why center of newton ring is dark?
Newton's rings are created by the destructive and constructive interference between the light waves. Destructive is when one wave is at a crest (high point) and one is at a trough (low point) and they cancel each other out. Constructive is when both rays are at a crest or trough and they amplify each other. The dark areas (like the cenrte of the rings) are created by destructive interference.
Conditions for interference of light?
You mean conditions for getting sustained interference pattern with clarity. 1. Sources have to be monochromatic and coherent 2. Two sources have to be so close as far as possible 3. The screen is to be kept at far distance

How is music affected in an auditorium when there is destructive interference of the sound waves?
Destructive interference is where two sound waves mix and cancel each other out to some extent. If destructive interference is occurring, the sound level will be lower than you would otherwise expect. A properly designed auditorium will use both destructive and constructive interference where required to achieve the desired clarity of sound.
