Interference
When two waves meet, their interaction is known as interference.
The interaction between two seismic waves that meet is called interference. Interference can result in constructive interference, where the amplitudes of the waves combine to create a larger wave, or destructive interference, where the amplitudes partially or completely cancel each other out.
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 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.

The point where light rays meet is called the focal point.
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.
The focal point
The point where the incident wave and the reflected wave meet is called the node. At this point, the amplitudes of the two waves cancel each other out due to destructive interference, resulting in minimal disturbance in the medium.
There is no specific name for lines that meet at one point, but lines that meet at a point, the point is called the intersection point.
