I'm guessing you're talking about Transverse waves? eg. ~
Waves consist of two parts - a crest and a trough. The crest are the high points, and a trough is the low points. When a crest meets another crest, the wave is amplified, causing constructive interference (the crests add to each other). The same thing occurs when a trough meets a trough.
However, when a crest meets a trough, the wave is diminished, causing destructive interference (the crest and trough cancel each other out).
What else can I help you with?
What is it called when two waves meet?
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.
What is two waves combine called?
When two waves combine, it is called interference. Interference can result in either constructive interference, where the waves combine to create a larger amplitude, or destructive interference, where the waves cancel each other out.
What is it called when the crest of two waves overlap and result in an increased wave amplitude?
Superimposing of waves is when two or more waves travel through the same medium and intersect. The net displacement is the addition of the waves amplitude. If they are in phase they increase amplitude; out of phase, the amplitude decreases.
What do you call the interaction between two waves that meet?
When two waves meet, the interaction is called interference. Interference can result in either constructive interference, where the waves combine to create a stronger wave, or destructive interference, where the waves cancel each other out.
When two waves interfere can the resultant wave be larger than either of the two original waves?
Yes, interference can result in a wave that is larger than either of the two original waves when the peaks of the waves align (constructive interference). This causes the amplitudes to add up, resulting in a larger wave.
The result of two or more waves overlapping?
The correct answer is ''Interference"

Two waves that interfere completely result in a wave with a larger amplitude than either of the two initial waves.?
Regardless of the frequency of the wave, all sound:
When two or more waves over lap?
They interfer
Beats are a direct result of what?
Beats are a direct result of the difference in frequency between two sound waves that are interfering with each other. When two sound waves with slightly different frequencies overlap, they create a series of alternating constructive and destructive interference patterns, resulting in the perception of beats.
What is it called when the crest of two waves overlap and result in an increased wave amplitude?
Superimposing of waves is when two or more waves travel through the same medium and intersect. The net displacement is the addition of the waves amplitude. If they are in phase they increase amplitude; out of phase, the amplitude decreases.
What does a standing wave result from?
Standing waves are also known as stationary waves. They are waves that remain in a constant position. This phenomenon can occur because the medium is moving in the opposite direction to the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions.
What do you call the interaction between two waves that meet?
When two waves meet, the interaction is called interference. Interference can result in either constructive interference, where the waves combine to create a stronger wave, or destructive interference, where the waves cancel each other out.
When two waves interfere can the resultant wave be larger than either of the two original waves?
Yes, interference can result in a wave that is larger than either of the two original waves when the peaks of the waves align (constructive interference). This causes the amplitudes to add up, resulting in a larger wave.
What is it called when two waves meet each other?
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.
What is the result of two or more waves overlapping each other?
There will be either constructive or destructive interference.
