When 2 waves meet crest to crest or trough to trough - amplitude increases

2 waves meet in constructive interference. The first wave has an amplitude of 1.5 meters. The second has an amplitude of 4.5 meters. What will be the amplitude where they meet?

_____ is when an object or wave bounces back from a surface it cannot go through.

In a standing wave, what is the name of the points at 0 amplitude?

a wave that appears to stand still, but is really 2 waves interfering as they pass through each other

an increase in amplitude that occurs when external vibrations MATCH an object's natural frequency

when a wave enters a new medium at an angle, one side moves slower causing the wave to bend

A wave with crest of 18 meters meets a wave with a trough of 6 meters, at the point where they meet what will remain?
