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?
The two waves will interfere destructively at that specific particle, causing them to cancel each other out. This will result in a net displacement of zero at that point.
Why are waves small?
Waves can be small due to factors such as low energy or limited disturbance in the medium through which they are traveling. Smaller waves may also result from shorter wavelengths or less pronounced amplitudes.
What is the amplitude of a wave is a direct measure of what?
The amplitude of a wave is a direct measure of the energy or intensity of the wave. It represents the maximum displacement of a particle from its equilibrium position as the wave passes through a medium. Larger amplitudes indicate greater energy or intensity of the wave.
Which factor determines how much a particular color refracts as it passes through a prism?
The factor that determines how much a particular color refracts as it passes through a prism is its wavelength. Different colors have different wavelengths, and this causes them to bend at different angles when passing through the prism, resulting in the separation of white light into its constituent colors.
Two sound waves traveling through the air have different frequencies and also have what?
Assuming velocity is a constant and v=f x wavelength. They would have different wavelengths.
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

What is the behavior of a wave that passes through another wave?
When a wave passes through another wave, their amplitudes add together in a process called superposition. The resulting wave is a combination of the two waves and can be constructive (when amplitudes reinforce each other) or destructive (when amplitudes cancel each other out). This interaction can lead to interference patterns.

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.
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)
What number of wavelengths passing through a given point per second?
The number of wavelengths passing through a given point per second is determined by the frequency of the wave passing through that point. It is calculated using the formula: number of wavelengths = frequency of the wave.
