I think you're right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm in between A and D but more towards D

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

"Phase" is measured in degrees from 0-360. 0 degrees means both sounds are exactly in sync.180 degrees means both sounds are parallel or opposite of each other -- meaning they're out of phase. When two sounds are in phase, they're added together thus their combination makes stronger outcome.
