Below is a snapshot of two sources of circular wave crests in two dimensions, a blue source and a red source. Each wave has an amplitude of 5 cm and the same wavelength. What is the net displacement of the medium at the labelled points a, b, and c? b. a
Wave 1 starts at Position X and travels distance D1 to Position Y.  Wave 2 starts at Position X at the same time as Wave 1 and travels distance D2 (along a different path), arriving at Position Y at the same time Wave 1 arrives.  Which of the following is true? A.  If D2−D1=2π, the two waves will interfere destructively. B.  If D2−D1=π, the two waves will interfere destructively. C.  If D2−D1=λ/2, the two waves will interfere destructively. D. If D2−D1=2π, the two waves will interfere destructively. E.  The two waves will not interfere destructively. F.  There is not enough information to determine what kind of interference the two waves will exhibit.
Problem Below is a diagram showing the position of various particles as a longitudinal wave passes through them. Although the diagram only shows one wave, there are a series of identical waves passing through these particles. The waves are moving to the RIGHT. 1. At the moment shown, which points are moving to the right? Choose all that apply. A B C D E F GHI X 2. At the moment shown, which points are moving to the left? Choose all that apply.

Choose all that apply. A B C D E F G H I ✔000✔000✔ A Identify which of the particles are moving left, which are moving right, which are at rest, and which are moving the fastest. [To do this, I'd recommend going to this LONGITUDINAL WAVE website. It has a simple applet that allows you to observe the motion of individual particles as a longitudinal wave passes through…
