If you have one single sound, it will make a certain type of frequency. Now if the apex of the crest is the exact opposite of the apex of the trough. That single sound will cancel each other out.

If you have one single sound, the apex of the crest is exactly the same as the apex of the second sound (at the same frequency) the overall sound will increase.

What is it called when waves travel through each other and the crests overlap with crests and troughs over lap with troughs?

When waves travel through each other and the crests overlap with crests and troughs overlap with troughs, it is called interference. Interference can result in constructive interference, where the amplitudes add up, or destructive interference, where the amplitudes cancel each other out.


Do x rays have crests and troughs?

yes because all waves have crests and troughs.


What type of waves have crests and troughs?

Transverse waves have crests and troughs. In transverse waves, particles in the medium oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.


When two waves of the same wavelengths travel so that their crests and also troughs are aligned they are said to be?

in phase. This results in constructive interference where the amplitudes of the waves add up, creating a wave with a larger amplitude.


Have compressional waves crests and troughs?

Yes, compressional waves have crests and troughs. The crests are the points of maximum positive displacement or compression, while the troughs are the points of maximum negative displacement or rarefaction.


Which waves do not have crest or a through?

Electromagnetic waves do not have crests or troughs. They consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that do not exhibit the typical wave characteristics of crests and troughs like water waves do.


Light waves of one wavelength that travels with its crests and troughs aligned is called what?

Light waves of a single wavelength is known as being coherent. This allows constructive interference which occurs when two or more waves are in phase i.e. their crests and troughs are aligned.


In what ways are sound waves like ocean waves?

Sound waves are like ocean waves because it resembles an ocean wave with crests (peak) and troughs (valleys). The crests indicate regions of high pressure and the troughs, low pressure.


In which type of wave are troughs and crests found?

All sine waves both sound and electromagnetic.


Do transverse have compressions and rarefactions?

Transverse waves have crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.


Are sound waves made up of series of crests and troughs?

Yes, sound waves are composed of a series of compressions (crests) and rarefactions (troughs) in the medium through which they travel, such as air. These fluctuations in pressure create the perception of sound when they reach our ears.


What Light of one wavelength that travels with its crests and troughs aligned is what?

Light waves of a single wavelength is known as being coherent. This allows constructive interference which occurs when two or more waves are in phase i.e. their crests and troughs are aligned.
