When particles are added pressure will do what and why
ElenaW [278]
Because area of the container has increased , there will be fewer of collisions per unit area and the pressure will decrease . Volume is inversely proportional to pressure , if the number of  particles and temperature is constant
( V = 1/P) and number of particle is proportional to pressure if average Kinetic energy of the particle remain same , the average force particle will remain same too so at some places and there will be more collision and there is greater pressure

Which produces wave particles that move and displace one another? A) a radio B) a guitar C) a light bulb D) a microwave oven
Semmy [17]
The answer is B. A guitar generally produces sound waves that propagate when the strings are strummed. The strings are displaced through the vibrations caused by contact of the hand and the guitar. You will also notice the vibrations by looking closely to the string. Wave particles continuously collide with each other to make a sustaining or prolonging sound.
