The amplitudes cancel each other out so the medium is at its base level, however the two waves are still in existence and will continue on their courses despite the apparent annihilation.

What are four exsamples of constructive forces?

1) Crest of one wave meets the crest of other wave OR Trough of one wave meets the trough of other wave.


What will happen when a crest of a wave meets a trough of a wave?

When a crest of a wave meets a trough of a wave, they cancel each other out in a process called destructive interference. As a result, the energy of the wave is reduced or eliminated in that specific area.


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 is the measurement of a wave from crest to crest or trough to trough called?

The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two identical parts of a wave in successive periods (crest to crest, trough to trough, etc.).


What happens when the trough of one wave meets the crest of another?

When the trough of one wave meets the crest of another, they cancel each other out in a process called destructive interference. This causes the amplitude of the resulting wave to decrease, and in some cases, the waves may completely cancel each other out.


What will happen when a crest of wave a meets through of wave b?

When a crest of wave a meets a trough of wave b, they can cancel each other out in a process called destructive interference. This results in a decrease or complete nullification of the amplitude of the waves at that point.


The two main parts of a wave are the?

crest and trough. The crest is the highest point of a wave, while the trough is the lowest point.


How are the crest and trough of a wave alike?

The crest and trough of a wave are both points on the wave's amplitude. The crest is the highest point of the wave, while the trough is the lowest point. They are mirror images of each other across the equilibrium position of the wave.


What is a trough and a crest?

it has to do with waves. trough- is the bottom of the wave crest- is the top of the wave


Is the wave length measured from the crest to the trough true or false?

False. The wavelength of a wave is actually measured from crest to crest, or trough to trough, not from crest to trough.


What part of a wave is the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough?

The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough is called the wavelength of a wave. It represents the distance over which the wave's shape repeats itself.
