Energy transferred by electromagnetic waves is called?
Radiation
The distance between two waves is called?
A Wavelength.
Waves with wavelengths between one thousandth and 700 billionths of a meter?
They are called infrared waves! Happy to help :), friend.
The energy you feel as heat from an eletric burner is carried by electromagnetic waves called?
The energy you feel as heat from an electric burner is carried by electromagnetic waves called infrared rays. Particles of light energy is called photon.
Sciesmic waves that shear rock side to side are called?

What occurs when sound waves overlap and combine?
interference
What is a wave interaction that occurs when two or more waves overlap and combine?
Interference
What is it called when waves travel through each other and the crests overlap with crests and troughs over lap with troughs?
Standing Waves.
Sometimes waves interfere with one another. What type of interference occurs when the crests of one wave and the troughs of another wave overlap?
destructive interference
When two waves meet and overlap?
diffraction
The result of two or more waves overlapping?
The correct answer is ''Interference"
When are ocean waves dangerous?
When the get really big; these are called Rogue Waves: this phenomenon occurs when the Wave Actions Combine.
What are waves that disturb matter?
Waves that disturb matter are called mechanical waves. These waves propagate as an oscillation of matter, thus transfer of energy through a medium occurs.
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.
When two or more waves overlap and combine together is?
interference
What happens when two waves overlap?
It depends. if the waves are in sync with each other, they will amplify. If they are out of sync, they will be negated.
When two waves overlap the displacement of the medium is the sum of the displacements of the two individual waves is what principle?
superposition
