When two waves meet in destructive interference, they combine to produce a resultant wave with a smaller amplitude. The peaks of one wave coincide with the troughs of the other wave, leading to cancellation of energy in some regions. This creates a wave with reduced intensity compared to the individual waves.
During destructive interference, two or more waves with opposite displacements meet and the resulting wave has an amplitude that is smaller than the amplitude of the individual waves. This happens because the peaks of one wave align with the troughs of another wave, causing them to cancel each other out.
When two waves meet, their interaction is known as interference.
Depends where. If a peak meets a peak, then the amplitude of that peak will increase. Same with troughs. However if the waves have the same amplitude, and a peak meets a trough, they will cancel out, and you will be left with a dead spot, not affected by the wave.
When two waves meet, it is called wave interference. This can result in constructive interference, where the waves combine to create a larger wave, or destructive interference, where the waves cancel each other out.

Interfere with each other. This interference can be either constructive or destructive.

Interference
When two waves of the same frequency meet, they can either reinforce each other (constructive interference) resulting in a wave with larger amplitude, or cancel each other out (destructive interference) resulting in a wave with smaller or zero amplitude. The specific outcome depends on the alignment of the waves' crests and troughs when they meet.
When crest from two waves meet, they combine through a process called interference. If the crests align, the amplitudes of the waves add up, resulting in constructive interference and a larger wave. If the crests and troughs align, they cancel each other out through destructive interference.
Constructive interference occurs when two waves meet in phase, resulting in an increase in amplitude. Destructive interference occurs when two waves meet out of phase, resulting in a decrease in amplitude or cancellation of the waves.
When two or more waves meet, they can interfere with each other, resulting in effects such as constructive interference (when the amplitudes of the waves add up) or destructive interference (when the amplitudes cancel out). This phenomenon is called wave interference.
The combining of waves as they meet is known as interference. Interference can result in either constructive interference, where the waves amplify each other, or destructive interference, where the waves cancel each other out.
When two waves meet, it is called interference. Interference can result in either constructive interference, where the amplitudes of the waves add together, or destructive interference, where the amplitudes cancel each other out.
