Answer 10

peaks or troughs from one wave coincide with peaks or troughs of the other

Question 11

Destructive interference

Answer 11

peaks (troughs) from one wave coincide with troughs (peaks) of the other

Question 12

Waves can only form if they have a what? (quantization)

heated metals going from black to dark red, to brighter red, to white hot

Question 15

Photoelectric effect

Answer 15

light striking a metal surface is viewed as particles (photons) not waves
