Question

If two waves with equal amplitudes and wavelengths travelthrough a medium in such a waay that a particular particle of themedium is at the crest of one wave and at the trough of the otherwave at the same time, what will happen to that particle?

(a)The particle will vibrate with double amplitude due toresonance

(b) The particle will remain stationary due to interference

(c) The particle will move halfway to the crest due toreinforcement.

(d) The particle will cause beats as a result of the wavecombination

Explanation / Answer

I think the answer is a.. (not so sure).
