If two light waves start out in phase with one another but one travels two wavelengths farther than the other before they come together will the waves be in phase or out of phase when they combine?
in phase
What makes up a wavelength in a compressional wave?
In air,as you move along the wave the molecules go through a cycle where in one region they are closer together and then farther down there is another region where they are further apart. This cycle repeats. The Length of one of these cycles is the wavelength. Go to the Related Links below for good animations.
When a light ray and a sound wave have the same frequency which one has the longer wavelength?
The light wave has the longer wavelength. In the time required for one wiggle, it travels roughly 880,000 times farther than the sound wave does.
In hot air are particles closer together?
No, farther apart.
When you change the pitch of a sound what change in sound wave?
In sounds with higher pitches, the compressions that make up the sound are closer together; when the pitch is lower, they are farther apart. The wavelength of a sound, which is the distance from one compression to the next, is the speed of sound divided by the sound's frequency (pitch).

True or false the farther apart waves are the greater their wavelength?
False

An object that is farther away than another object will have a parallax?
The farther an object is from the observer, the smaller its parallax is.

Are Europe and north America drifting closer together or farther apart?
NO
Are the molecules in your teeth closer together or farther apart than the molecules in your saliva?
The molecules in your teeth are closer together because your teeth is a solid and saliva is a liquid witch is farther apart (has more room)
Why do the waves with shorter wavelengths scatter more than those with long wavelength?
Because they use less energy then longer wavelengths hence they can go farther
What capital city is on a coastline farther south than Bogota farther north than Pretoria farther west than Wellington farther east than Tokyo and shares an island and land with another nation?
jakarta
Why is a shorter wavelength of light emitted when an electron falls from n equals 4 to n equals 1 than when an electron falls from n equals 2 to n equals 1?
Shorter wavelength = more energy. The farther the electron falls, the more energy that will be emitted.
