  • Chapter 3: Interference

    3.1 Introduction to Interference Interference is a fundamental phenomenon in wave theory that occurs when two or more waves superpose to form a resultant wave. The principle of superposition states that when two or more waves overlap, the displacement at any point is the vector sum of the displacements of the individual waves. In the…

    Introduction Interference is a fundamental concept in wave theory, describing the phenomenon where two or more waves combine to form a resultant wave. The principle of interference is central to many areas of physics, including optics, acoustics, and quantum mechanics. Constructive and Destructive Interference When two waves meet, they interfere with each other. The superposition…
