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…

Superposition Principle
Introduction The principle of superposition is a key concept in physics and engineering, particularly in wave theory and quantum mechanics. It asserts that the net response at a given place and time caused by two or more stimuli is the sum of the responses that would have been caused by each stimulus individually. Superposition in…
