Interference – effect produced by two waves passing simultaneously through a region

 

 

1. Superposition – when waves overlap, the resultant displacement is the algebraic sum of the individual displacements of each wave

As the two waves below

pass through each

other, the medium at

point P will ...

(1) vibrate up and down

(2) vibrate left and right

(3) vibrate into and out of the page

(4) remain stationary
