Question

It is not possible to determine if any parameters should be passed to a function by address based on the first line of the definition of the function (also known as the function header).

a) True
b) False

Answer 1

The statement is false; wave amplitude combinations depend on phase relationships, not precise alignment, through interference and superposition.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is false. The amplitude of one wave is not affected by the amplitude of another wave simply because they are aligned. When two waves are in the same space, their amplitudes can combine through a process called interference, but this can happen whether or not they are precisely aligned, as it depends on the phase relationship between the waves. Constructive interference occurs when waves are in phase and their amplitudes add together, whereas destructive interference occurs when waves are out of phase and their amplitudes can partially or completely cancel each other out. The result is a phenomenon known as superposition.
