Physics Question on Waves
The principle of superposition in wave motion tells that in a motion in which two or more waves are simultaneously producing their displacements in a particle then the resultant
A
amplitude is the sum of the individual amplitudes
B
velocity is the sum of the individual velocities
C
displacement is the vector sum of the individual displacements
D
phase is the sum of the individual phases
Answer
displacement is the vector sum of the individual displacements
Explanation
Solution
According to Principle of superposition, the resultant displacement at a point due to two or more waves passing through a medium is equal to the vector sum of the individual displacements occuring at that point.
