If two waves with equal amplitudes and wavelengths travel through a medium in such a way that a particular particle of the medium is at the crest of one wave and at the trough of the other wave at the same time, what will happen to that particle? A. The particle will cause beats as a result of the wave combination. B. The particle will move halfway to the crest due to reinforcement. C. The particle will vibrate with double amplitude due to resonance. D. The particle will remain stationary due to interference. 7. When the temperature of the air is 25°C, the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately A. 320 m/s. B. 332 m/s. C. 347 m/s. D. 357 m/s. 8. If a source of sound waves is rapidly approaching a person, the sound heard by the person appears to have A. a frequency higher than the original frequency. B. a pitch lower than the original pitch. C. an amplitude lower than the original amplitude. D. a period higher than the original period. 9.

C. has a higher intensity than the sound produced by the source. D. has a higher pitch than the sound produced by the source.

Wave forms and Wave Energy Kinetic energy is often the release of potential energy is a sudden burst. Waves are repeated occurrences of an event that may or may not follow a set pattern. Sometimes this burst can be controlled, and sometimes it is so large, new language was created to compare it to other energy releases. There are also situations where the terminology could is used interchangeably with another term or phrase. And to confuse the issue more, there...
