Super+position

By: Dylan Hoff
====The principle of superposition may be applied to waves whenever two or more waves travelling through the same medium at the same time. The waves will pass through eachother and neither one will be disturbed. The total displacement of the medium at a point or space in time is the sum of the individual land displacements.====

The law of superposition states that when two or more forces act on an object, the net force on the object is the vector sum of all the forces. In the case of waves, when two or more waves interfere with each other, the resulting effect on the medium is the vector sum of the effects each wave would have if it were by itself.
