we have the left two diagrams. Rotating the the middle diagram such that all time axis are aligned, we find that both waves have positive momentum along \(t_T\). The oscillations between \(x_1\) and \(x_2\) however are \(\pi/2\) out of phase.
It is difficult to imagine the effects of this phase difference, but since both momentum along \(t_T\) is of the same sign, both increases heat potential energy upon collision when this K.E is transferred.
There is no freeze rays.
However, since, such waves can originates from a source of lower heat potential and that they can be projected towards any target (\(x_3\lt c\)), the target heat potential can still be lowered upon impact.
There is then freeze rays, from a cold source.
No, not absolute raw energy being throw around, but potential energy of a specific type; electrical, gravitational or temperature. Potential energy can be negative with reference to a reference defined to be at zero energy. As such there can be a negative potential energy added to a system of positive potential energy, and results in a decrease in potential energy.
Freeze!
