In destructive interference, the amplitudes of the two interfering waves cancel each other out partially or completely, resulting in a decrease in the overall amplitude of the wave at certain points. This reduction is due to the waves being out of phase, leading to a net decrease in the amplitude in the region of interference.
When two waves combine, their amplitudes can either add together (constructive interference) or cancel each other out (destructive interference) depending on their phases. Constructive interference results in a wave with a larger amplitude, while destructive interference results in a wave with a smaller amplitude or no wave at all.
If two sine waves of equal frequency and amplitude are superimposed, the resulting wave will have the same frequency. The particle will experience constructive and destructive interference, leading to regions of higher and lower amplitudes.
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.
constructive interference
Interference of waves occurs when two or more waves meet and overlap in the same medium, leading to the superposition of their amplitudes. This phenomenon can manifest as constructive interference, where wave amplitudes add up to produce a larger amplitude, or destructive interference, where wave amplitudes cancel each other out. Interference is commonly observed in a variety of wave systems, such as sound waves, light waves, and water waves.

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 two identical waves hit a boat simultaneously from opposite sides, they will effectively cancel each other out due to destructive interference. This means that the net force on the boat will be zero, and it will remain relatively stable in the water without significant movement. However, if the waves are not perfectly synchronized or if there are slight differences in amplitude or phase, the boat may experience some rocking or swaying.
When two out-of-phase waves combine and cancel each other out.
In a regime of linear propagation (that is almost in any case covered by normal experience) two waves sharing the same space (for example two light waves or two sound waves) generate a third wave (called interference wave) whose amplitude is the sum of the original waves amplitudes and whose phase is the sum of the original waves phases. If we evaluate the power of the interference wave it is not the sum of the original powers, but it strongly depends on the phases of the original waves. In particular if the total phase in a point and in an instant is 90° (pi/2) the total power is minimum: it is equal to the difference between the powers of the original waves, that is zero if they had the same power and destructive interference happens. On the contrary if the sum of the original phases is zero the total power is maximum: twice the sum of the original powers, that is four time the power of one wave if the initial powers were equal and constructive interference is said to happen.
This is known as superposition (this can refer to an increase or decrease in the amplitude of a wave caused by the interaction of two or more differing waves) or constructive interference (refers specifically to the increase in amplitude caused by the interaction of two or more waves). For optimum constructive interference to occur, the waves must be perfectly in phase at all times. This means that they must have the same frequency and wavelength and the peaks and troughs of one wave coincide perfectly with the peaks and troughs of the second wave at all times. Maximum constructive interference can occur in waves of differing frequency and wavelength, however it will only occur intermittently when the peaks and troughs happen to coincide perfectly. At other times it may vary from constructive interference (where two wave crests interact but not at their peaks) or destructive interference. Please see the related links.

Interference occurs when two or more waves combine, leading to their amplitudes reinforcing or canceling each other out. This phenomenon results from the superposition of waves, where they add together based on their relative phase relationships. Constructive interference occurs when waves align in phase and reinforce each other, while destructive interference occurs when waves are out of phase and weaken each other.
