Waves interact with matter in several ways. The interactions occur when waves pass from one medium to another. Besides bouncing back like an echo, waves may bend or spread out when they strike a new medium. These three ways that waves may interact with matter are called reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
Waves interact with materials by eroding them over time. The way they the material erodes and how long it takes depends on the type of material. For example, less dense rock will break apart when it erodes, and it will not take as long. Metal will rust when it gets eroded, and it will take longer to be fully eroded.
In this specific scenario, seeing since both of the mediums are differential, the bacteria can grow on either of them, therefore either of them would be a good choice. A differential media allows the researcher to visually distinguish which species have the specific biochemical process. Which in this case both options have the ability to allow bacteria to grow which is what is needed.
During interphase, the cell grows and builds the nutrients required for the stage called Mitosis that prepares it for cell division and manipulate the dna
