Q
Q: What is the principle of superposition in wave theory?
Solution:
The principle of superposition states that when two or more waves overlap, the resultant wave is the sum of the individual waves.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that waves can be sound waves, light waves, or water waves.
Step 2: Know that when two or more waves meet in the same place, they overlap.
Step 3: The principle of superposition says that when these waves overlap, they combine together.
Step 4: To find the new wave (resultant wave), you add the heights of the individual waves at each point.
Step 5: If one wave is going up and another is going down, you subtract their heights at that point.
