When two waves are in phase (peaks and troughs align) they combine constructively, resulting in a wave with greater amplitude. When they are out of phase (peaks align with troughs) they combine destructively, resulting in a wave with lesser amplitude. The resulting wave is the sum of the individual wave amplitudes at each point.
When two or more waves overlap, they can interfere constructively, resulting in a wave with greater amplitude, or destructively, resulting in a wave with lesser amplitude or cancellation. The resulting wave's amplitude is determined by the superposition of the individual waves.
When the troughs of two waves align, they combine to create a wave that has an amplitude equal to the sum of the individual amplitudes. This is known as constructive interference, resulting in a wave with greater intensity.
When waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude, it's called constructive interference. This occurs when two waves are in phase and their crests and troughs align, reinforcing each other to produce a wave with a greater amplitude.
In general, the greater the amplitude of a sound wave, the louder the volume of the sound perceived by our ears. Amplitude refers to the height of the sound wave, so a larger amplitude means a greater variance in pressure in the medium carrying the sound wave, resulting in a louder sound.

The two main types of interference in a standing wave are constructive interference, where the two waves combine to create a wave with greater amplitude, and destructive interference, where the two waves combine to create a wave with smaller or zero amplitude.
The resulting displacement of the medium is the algebraic sum of the individual displacements caused by the two waves. If they have the same direction, the amplitude of the resulting displacement is greater; if they are in opposite directions, the amplitude is smaller.
If waves are going opposite directions: If the two waves have the same amplitude and frequency, they will cancel each other out, resulting in a flatline. If one has a greater amplitude, it will "absorb" the smaller one and the result will be a wave with amplitude of the difference between the two original waves, going in the direction of the first wave with greater amplitude. If they're going the same direction: If the waves have the same frequency and phase, the will simply add on to each other, resulting in a larger wave. If the two have the same frequency but different phase, some parts of the waves will be offset to result in a wave with different amplitude but same frequency (depending how off-phase the waves are). If they have the same frequency and exactly opposite phases, the two will offset into a flatline. If they have different frequency, then it will result in a completely different wave with different frequency, phase, and amplitude.
When two waves of the same frequency reinforce each other, they undergo constructive interference, resulting in a wave with greater amplitude. When they neutralize each other, it is destructive interference, resulting in a wave with zero amplitude at certain points. This mutual action is based on the principle of superposition, where waves combine to form a resultant wave.
When two or more waves combine, they form a single waveform through the process of interference. Depending on whether the waves are in phase (constructive interference) or out of phase (destructive interference), the resulting wave may have an amplitude that is greater or smaller than the individual waves.
The wave property that affects the loudness of a sound is amplitude. Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of particles in a medium from their rest position as a sound wave passes through it. The greater the amplitude of a sound wave, the louder the sound will be perceived by our ears. This is because a larger amplitude corresponds to a greater amount of energy being transferred by the wave, resulting in a more intense sound.
When two waves that are in step meet, they combine together to form a wave with greater amplitude. This is called constructive interference, where the peaks of the two waves align and reinforce each other. The resulting wave will have a higher intensity and energy.
