What outcome results when two ocean waves collide at opposing phases?

💡 Explanation

When waves meet at opposite phases, destructive interference occurs, which flattens the crests and troughs, therefore the amplitude decreases, rather than frequency changes or acceleration, because amplitude reduction is the result of energy cancellation.
