- reflection
- refraction
- constructive interference
- destructive interference
14. Obi Wan hears the destruction of a planet and all of its people through ‘the force’. These sounds are only in his head and are not carried through space, since space has no _____ through which sound could transmit.

- perpendicular to
- away from
- towards
- at the same speed as
16. The communications of the ship were made inoperable by electromagnetic waves sent by the Death Star that were completely out of phase with attempted communications causing _____.
- reflection
