Question

If two waves with EQUAL amplitudes and wavelengths travel through a medium in such a way that a particular of the medium is the crest of one wave and at the trough of the other wave at the same time, what will happen to that particle?

Answer 1

The particle will remain stationary due to interference.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

If this were to happen then the particle would be at the node (the point in the middle where the lines meet). Therefore, the particle will not move up or down because you can see the waves interfere destructively so there is no movement at the node.

answer. The particle will remain stationary due to interference.
