constructive interference happens when 2 waves directed the same way crest – crest or trough – trough pass each other, it makes a bigger wave

destructive waves happen when 2 opposite waves collide trough – crest, they cancel each other out

and standing waves are waves are oscillating waves that have the same frequency and amplitude and interfere on the same spots that will then stay stationary, these are called nodes or nodal points
