Question

Two waves travel through each other, and a crest forms with an amplitude smaller that either original waves. What has happened?

Answer 1

This is what I think it is, correct me if I'm wrong. Answer is stated below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Destructive Interference

Two waves combine to form a wave with a smaller amplitude than either the original wave. Destructive interference can occur when the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another wave. If the crest has a larger amplitude than the trough of the other wave, a part of it remains.
