When two waves interfere the displacement where two troughs meet is positive negative zero or a crest?
Negative
The combining of waves as they meet is known as?
Interference. Constructive Interference, which is where the waves increase amplitudes and troughs when they overlap. Destructive Interference, which is where the waves cancel each other out when they overlap.
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 happens to the amplitude of two waves as they meet?
Depends where. If a peak meets a peak, then the amplitude of that peak will increase. Same with troughs. However if the waves have the same amplitude, and a peak meets a trough, they will cancel out, and you will be left with a dead spot, not affected by the wave.
How are loudness of sound and wave interference related?
As you know, sound travels in the form of waves with crests and troughs (high and low points). When two waves meet, constructive or deconstructive interference can occur. Loudness increases when waves interfere constructively, in other words when crests combine with crests or when trough combine with troughs to produce an even larger wave amplitude (the height of the resulting wave). Loudness decreases when waves interfere deconstructively, in other words when crests cancel out troughs to produce a smaller wave amplitude.

Negative
When they meet waves?
Interfere with each other. This interference can be either constructive or destructive.

When 2 troughs meet they form to make?
A larger trough.
What is interference in physics?
Waves from two sources travel in a medium. At some points when they interfere simultaneously crest and trough of the two waves would meet. So the displacement at that point would be reduced. Hence it is termed as Destructive Interference. If, otherwise, both crests or toughs of the two waves interfere then displacement at those points would be added and hence it becomes maximum. This is termed as Constructive Interference

What is the term for the interaction when two waves meet?
When two waves meet, their interaction is known as interference.
What are the highest points on a standing wave called?
When the trough of a wave and the crest of a different wave meet, the waves cancel completely. This is called destructive interference.
When two waves meet and overlap?
diffraction
