CONCLUSION

The first hypothesis was partially accepted because the resultant wave is the sum of the amplitudes, but other factors enter into the summation, specifically, phase angle and frequency. The second hypothesis was accepted because the frequency transmitted did not affect the properties in which the waves interacted. Both sound waves and radio waves travel as sinusoidal waves. Since both waveforms travel as sine waves, the math behind the interaction remains the same. The frequency and phase of the resultant wave can be derived, but using complex calculus.
