If wave A carries more energy than wave B, then wave B has a smaller amplitude, frequency, or wavelength compared to wave A. This means that the properties of wave B are lesser in magnitude than those of wave A.
The crest of wave b is passing the reef when the timer is stopped.
When the trough of Wave A overlaps the trough of Wave B, the two troughs will combine to create a larger and deeper trough, increasing the amplitude of the resulting wave. This phenomenon is known as constructive interference and results in a more significant wave.
When the trough of Wave A overlaps the crest of Wave B, they will cancel each other out in a process called destructive interference. This will result in a reduction or complete elimination of the amplitude of the resulting wave in that specific region.
Let us look at a cosine wave, described by y = A cos (b). When b = 0 degrees, y = A (<-- peak) When b = 90 degrees, y = 0 (<-- rest position of the wave) When b = 180 degrees, y = -A (<-- trough) When b = 270 degrees, y=0 (<-- rest position again) and so on. If we force A to be a function of time, then the wave becomes a standing wave (see the related link). The peak and trough will reverse their relative position for every half of a period. Regardless, the trough at any time and the rest position is still 90 degrees, or one quarter of a wavelength. ====================================
Longitudinal (also called compression) wave
If wave A carries more energy than wave B, then wave B has a smaller amplitude, frequency, or wavelength compared to wave A. This means that the properties of wave B are lesser in magnitude than those of wave A.
The waves are the scalar and vector parts of Quaternion derivatives: [d/dr, DEL]2 [b,B] = The Longitudinal wave (d2/dr2 - DEL2)b - 2d/dr DEL.B is a scalar wave The Transverse wave (d2/dr2 - DEL2)B + 2d/dr( DEL b + DELxB) is a vector wave.

A wave front has a form that is a surface of a sphere.
Wave A takes a more direct route to the receiving station as it travels through the Earth's interior, while wave B experiences more reflection and refraction as it travels along the Earth's surface.
