Answer to Question 1

Answer: Wave interference is the result of two or more waves combining together. When the waves combine in phase, with crests overlapping crests and troughs overlapping troughs, the resulting wave has greater amplitude. This is constructive interference. When crests overlap troughs, cancellation or diminishing of the wave results. This is destructive interference.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Speed = wave frequency  wavelength. So wavelength = speed/frequency =
(340 m/s)/(1000 Hz) = 0.34 m.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.

Did you know?

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates’s recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.
