constructive interference
Destructive interference. This occurs when the crest of one wave meets the trough of another wave, leading to a cancellation of the wave amplitudes at that point.
constructive interference
When the crest of one wave overlaps with the trough of another wave, they will cancel each other out in a process called destructive interference. This results in a decrease in the overall amplitude of the waves at that point.
When the trough of Wave A overlaps the crest of Wave B, they will cancel each other out in a process called destructive interference. This will result in a reduction or complete elimination of the amplitude of the resulting wave in that specific region.
Constructive interference occurs when two waves are in phase with each other. This means that there is no phase shift and basically, they line up and cross the x-axis at the same times. On a graph, the positions of the individual waves add simply, giving a resulting amplitude of the first wave's amplitude plus the second wave's amplitude.
They get canceled out if they have the same magnitude.

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).
When the crests of two waves overlap, they undergo constructive interference, resulting in an increase in amplitude. This causes the two waves to combine, forming a wave with larger peaks at the point of overlap.
The crest of a wave is also known as the peak or the top of the wave.
In a wave train, the distance between successive wave crests is called the "wavelength".
If a pulse "interferes" with another pulse, they build each other up to form supercrests or supertroughs. This process is known as constructive interference.
The highest point of a transverse wave is known as the crest, while the lowest point is called the trough. When the crest of one wave strikes against the trough of another wave, the forces of energy working in opposite directions with cancel out the effects of each other.
