Additional length path differences introduced through added slits cause the interference pattern to diverge from the ideal Young's experiment setup, altering the observable contrast levels.

Constructive and destructive interference effects become more pronounced with more path differences available for multiple source interactions.

The number of slits contributing to collective phase differences between beams increases, resulting in observable selected bright and dark zones due to cumulative constructive/destructive interference effects.

Wide separation among slit openings exceeding coherence length produces independent diffraction patterns for each slit, merging into an overall visible interference pattern that adds complexity and contrast variabilities.

The speed increases.

The speed remains constant.

The speed decreases.

The wave inverts its direction.

The innovative design relies on reusable materials for construction which can be returned back into supply chains after use dramatically cutting waste management costs.

The resonant frequency quadruples since it is inversely proportional to square of length according $L = n(\frac{\lambda}{2})$.

The resonant frequency doubles because fundamental frequency is inversely proportional directly proportional only once not squared with length.

The resonant frequency remains unchanged because altering length does not affect velocity or standing wave patterns established on string.

Crest appears higher at one than at the other.

Crest meets trough exactly halfway between them, making flat surface.

No visible difference since symmetry means vibrations would be indistinguishable.

Ripples form concentric circles around one and spiral patterns around second.
