What happens if 2 waves of 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 the trough of the other?
nothing.
Do the different forms of electromagnetic energy vary in their 1 wavelengths 2 speed 3 particle size 4 ability to pass through space?
You say different forms of EM energy-there is only one form in fact. There is a huge variation in wavelengths (or frequency, the inverse of wavelength), no difference in speed, particle size not relevant, there are no particles, and all EM will pass through space. (The speed is a maximum in a vacuum such as Space, 300,000 km/sec)
Which kind of particle when passed through an electric field?
An Alpha particle.
What kind of waves do not need a medium to travel through?
Light. electromagnetic waves. **but be careful. Light is also a particle AND a wave. The light particle is called a photon, and although it always travels at the same speed (the speed of light) it can have different wavelengths. This is why we still see light from the Sun and stars. There is no medium in space, but since light does not need a medium to travel through, light can be observed still from great distances in the universe.
What process transfers thermal energy through matter directly from particle to particle?
conduction

nothing.
If two waves with equal amplitudes and wavelenghts travel through a medium in such a way that a particular particle of the medium is at the crest?
The particle will remain stationary due to interference

If two waves are traveling at the same speed what will be true about their wavelengths?
Nothing in particular. Red light, green light, and FM radio signals all travel at the same speed, but there's no connection among their wavelengths. The sounds of the tuba, guitar, and piccolo all travel at the same speed from the stage to your ear, but there's no particular relationship among their wavelengths. I guess you could say that if two waves are traveling at the same speed through the same medium ... or through the same absence of any medium ... then the waves are both manifestations of the same physical phenomenon or wave-generating process. But that doesn't say anything about their wavelengths.

How can you see through the interstellar medium?
by observing in high-energy wavelengths such as X rays and long wavelengths of light such as radio waves

many wavelengths do pass through the atmosphere.
