If Waves combine to produce a smaller or zero amplitude in a process called what?

Destructive interference. This occurs when waves meet in such a way that they partially or completely cancel each other out, resulting in a smaller or zero amplitude.


What is the amplitude of a vibration?

The amplitude of a vibration is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position. It represents the intensity or magnitude of the vibrations. A larger amplitude indicates a more energetic vibration, while a smaller amplitude indicates a less energetic vibration.


What is it called when a combined wave has larger amplitude than the original wave?

constructive interference


What is maximum displacement of the wave from equilibrium called?

The term for maximum displacement is the amplitude of the wave.


A sound waves amplitude corresponds to the sounds what?

Usually, people are asking as if there is just "the" amplitude in sound waves in air. The loudness perception of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves − the higher the amplitude, the louder the sound. Which amplitude of sound (sound amplitude) do you mean? There are: amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. Furthermore, think of the amplitude of the oscillation of a string. The maximum magnitude of the deflection of a wave is called amplitude. Look at link: "What is an amplitude?"

What is it called when a combined wave has a smaller amplitude than the original waves?

If the resulting amplitude is smaller, then it's "destructive interference".If the resulting amplitude is larger, then it's "constructive interference".Looks like the name you give it depends on which wave you're more interested in.When a large wave and a small wave interfere, the resulting amplitude can belarger than either one, smaller than either one, or midway between them.If the resulting amplitude is midway between the individual amplitudes, and youwere using the larger one to communicate with, then from your point of view, theinterference is destructive. If you were more interested in the smaller one, thenas far as you're concerned the same interference is constructive.


What interference occours when waves add up to make a wave with a smaller or zero amplitude?

That is called destructive interference.

What is the point of minimum amplitude called?

The point of minimum amplitude is called the trough. The trough is the lowest point on a wave where the amplitude is at its minimum. It is the opposite of the peak, which is the highest point on a wave where the amplitude is at its maximum.


When the crest of one wave overlaps the crests of another wave what is it called?

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).
