Similarly, wave processes revealed from the study of waves different from that of sound waves can be significant to the understanding of [[sound]] [[phenomena]]. A relevant example is Thomas Young's principle of interference (Young, 1802, in Hunt 1992, p. 132). This principle was first introduced in Young's study of light and, within some specific [[contexts]] (for example, scattering of sound by sound), is still a researched area in the study of sound.
