What happens if two waves of equal amplitude and frequency travel through a medium so that a given particle is at the crest of one wave and at the trough of the other at the same moment?

The particle will remain stationary due to interference.
The particle will remain stationary due to interference: the effects of the two waves on the particle are exactly opposite.

What is he relationship between particle size an the volume of water retained?
The more particle is given the less water would go through it leaving the particle wet
What is a block Diagram of Cable TV?
Whether it is an analogue or a digital broadcast, a block diagram is the basic structure of a television broadcast. The is structure begins with the camera and mic, goes through the amplitude and frequency modulation phases, combines the video and audio, and transmits it out via a network tower or satellite.
What is a SSBSC signal?
Single Side Band Suppressed Carrier. This is a modification of AM (Amplitude Modulation) that both reduces required transmitter power and signal bandwidth. The carrier is first modulated by the signal the same as in ordinary AM, then is sent through a bandpass filter to remove one sideband and the carrier. To demodulate it and recover the original signal the receiver must reinsert the carrier using a BFO (Beat Frequency Oscillator) and Mixer.
What happens to light when it passes through a rectangular block?
it makes a rainbow!
What is a similarity between infrasound and ultrasound?
"Sound" is a mechanical wave traveling through a medium. Ultrasound is sound, but its frequency is higher than humans can hear.
The frequency of electromagnetic energy traveling through a medium can change if what changes?
amplitude
What are the variables when light is spread through a glass block?
velocity of light, amplitude , frequency etc
What refers to the number of cycles a particle riding the wave passes through in a given amount of time?
frequency ..... A+
What happens to the amplitude of the sound wave as the sound get louder?
Pitch is a characteristic decided by the frequency. So high pitch high frequency. Low frequency is the cause of low Pitch. Frequency and wavelength are always inversely related. So wavelength increases. But amplitude in no way is related to the pitch. Hence amplitude could remain the same.
The frequency of electromagnetic energy traveling through a medium can change if any of the following change except?
Amplitude
Sound is an example of a?
Longitudinal wave Which can be in turn interpreted as a transverse wave. It has frequency, amplitude, crests & through.
What occurs when vibrations through an object match the object's natural frequency?
Any object in absence of external force vibrates with it's natural frequency. When the frequency of the external forced vibration matches the object's natural frequency, we say that resonance has occurred. In this situation the amplitude of the object's oscillation becomes larger. How much larger depends on the amplitude of the forced vibration.
How does sound travel through solid objects?
Sound is a longitudinal wavelength that has wavelength, velocity, frequency and amplitude. It travels through solid objects by going through vibration.
The pitch of the sound is increased. What difference will this make to the way the ear drum vibrates?
it does not do any thing :)
Can sound travel through honey?
Yes, sound can travel through most mediums effectively, as long as the amplitude and frequency of the sound wave is great enough.
What refers to the number of cycles a particle riding the waves passes through in a given amount of time?
frequency ..... A+
Explain how amplitude and pitch affect changes in waves?
In case of mechanical waves, ie waves propagating through material medium the amplitude of the waves decides the intensity of the waves as intensity is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude. Pitch is related to the frequency of the wave. As pitch increases then in one second more number of waves would cross a particular point in the medium. If velocity of the wave in the medium remains constant, the wavelength gets reduced as the pitch increases.
