True or False? Two waves cannot exist in the same space or in the same medium at the same time.

• True

• False

When a compression interferes with another compression, what occurs?

• They counteract and the wave stops.

• They combine to create a larger compression.

• They combine to create a rarefaction.

• None of the above.

When a crest and a trough interfere, what occurs?

• They combine to create a higher amplitude wave.

• They counteract and the wave either lessens or stops completely.

• The wave changes into a longitudinal wave.

If waves overlap and are in phase, how will that affect the resultant wave?

• Decrease the amplitude

• Increase the amplitude

• Decrease the frequency

• Increase the frequency

What is the height of a wave from equilibrium?

• Amplitude

• Interference

• Wavelength

• Sound

What will be the result after these two waves overlap?

• A taller wave

• A shorter wave

• A wave with no amplitude

• 3 waves
