Answer:
When their peaks and troughs occur at the same time and at the same location
Considered “in step”
Q: What happens when two waves are out-of-phase?
Answer:
Their peaks occur at different times, and so do their troughs
“out of step”

constructive interference

The interference that occurs when two waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude. The formation of a single wave of greater amplitude than either of its components.
