Sometimes waves interfere with one another. What type of interference occurs when the crests of one wave and the troughs of another wave overlap?
destructive interference
What type of interference occurs when the crests of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave?
constructive interference
In which type of wave are troughs and crests found?
All sine waves both sound and electromagnetic.
What are constructive interference and destructive interference?
when two waves superimposed on each other in the same phase (phase diff is 0), then the resultant amplitude becomes the sum of the amplitudes of the two waves. This type of interference is called constructive interference. on the other hand, when two waves superimposed on each other in the opposit phase (phase diff is 180 degree), then the resultant amplitude becomes the difference of the amplitudes of the two waves. This type of interference is called destructive interference.
If two waves overlap in the following manner what type of interference will result?
it doesnt matter whether the waves meet at the surface or underwater but when this happens, the waves superpose each other that is cancel out their crests and troughs resulting in a destructive wave with an amplitude or wavelength of zero which is diagramly a straight line (no wave). so if this happens underwater, nothing shows at the surface. send more of your questions in physics to enekaith@yahoo.com

What type of interference occurs when two waves are in phase?
Constructive
What type of interference occurs when waves add up to make a larger amplitude?
constructive
What type of interference occurs when waves meet crest to crest or trough to trough?
No, that would be destructive interference. One crest + one trough = nothing, a flat line.
What is wave interfernce?
wave interference is what happens when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium Constructive interference is a type of interference which occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction. Destructive interference is a type of interference which occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction.
Can electrons form interference patterns?
Any type of wave can form an interference pattern. Unless you're a scientist and have run into this before, you might not normally think of electrons as waves, but they do have wave properties and can in fact form interference patterns.
What is the definition of crests?
it is a type of dog it is a type of dog
