No, that would be destructive interference.

One crest + one trough = nothing, a flat line.

What occurs when 2 waves meet crest to trough?

When two waves meet crest to trough, they undergo destructive interference, canceling each other out. This results in a wave with reduced or no amplitude at the point of interaction.


What is the result of two waves over laping?

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).


The interference in which waves combine and the resulting wave gets bigger?

Constructive interference occurs when waves combine in phase, resulting in a larger amplitude wave. This happens when the crest of one wave aligns with the crest of another wave, or the trough aligns with the trough, reinforcing each other's amplitudes.


Distinguish between constructive interference and destructive interference?

Constructive interferences occur when two waves combine (add up) by the superpostition principle. Destructive interferences occur when the crest of one wave interferes with the trough of another. Amplitudes are subtracted.


What happens when crest waves align?

When crest waves align, they amplify in strength. This phenomenon is known as wave interference, where the crests of two waves combine to form a larger crest. Conversely, when a crest aligns with a trough, they cancel each other out through destructive interference.

Waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude in a process called?

This process is called destructive interference. This occurs when two waves collide, where one is in a trough and one is in a crest. If the waves are both a max amplitude, max crest and max trough, there will be complete destructive interference.

What occurs when the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another wave?

If a pulse "interferes" with another pulse, they build each other up to form supercrests or supertroughs. This process is known as constructive interference.


What is it called when the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another?

When the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another, it is called wave interference. This can result in constructive interference, where the waves amplify each other, or destructive interference, where they cancel each other out.


What happened waves superpose?

they echo


Does and Destructive interference takes place when the crest of one wave balances out or cancels out the trough of an interfering wave?

Yes, destructive interference occurs when the trough of one wave aligns with the crest of another wave. This causes the two waves to partially or completely cancel each other out, resulting in a reduction or total loss of amplitude at that point.


What is a trough and a crest?

it has to do with waves. trough- is the bottom of the wave crest- is the top of the wave


When the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another wave takes place.?

Destructive interference takes place. Constructive interference occurs when the trough of one wave passes through the crest of another wave
