Define the principles of superposition of waves. 

1 Answer

Answer :

Principle of superposition of wave: When two waves travelling through a medium arrive at a point simultaneously, each wave produces its own displacement at that point. The resultant displacement at that point is equal to the vector sum of the individual displacement of the two waves.
