SUPERPOSITION OF WAVES

16 MARCH 2008

HELLO! :D
I'm here to spread information about superposition of waves.

To put it simple, the princple of wave superposition is when two or more waves travel through the same medium simultaneously, the waves pass through each other without being disturbed.

Definition of principle of superposition and detailed explanation can be found here:

Two sites that have Java applets to show superposition of waves: (Please check them out!)

A video on water interacting with floating boom:

And one interesting fact which I found!
Overlapping ripples are a form of superposition!

IM TRYING TO GET NOTES FROM MY COUSIN.
HOPE I CAN GET.

That's all. Byeeeeeeeee!
