Answer: constructive interference

We talk about Constructive Interference when two waves interfere and at the points where the two crests coincide, then the amplitudes of these waves are added together.

In other words:

It refers to the superposition of two or more waves with equal frequency, which when interfered create a new wave pattern with greater intensity (which is directly related to the amplitude).
