Principle of Superposition of Waves and Interference
Principle of Superposition of Waves and Interference: Overview
This topic sheds light on the principle of superposition of waves. It covers some graphs that describe the applications of this principle. In addition, it talks about the interference of waves via this principle.

What do you understand by the interference of waves? Explain constructive and destructive interference of waves.

In a stretch string, two waves of the same amplitude, each of travel in the same direction. The phase difference between the waves is and they interfere with each other. Find the amplitude of the resultant wave

Two loudspeakers are placed at either end of a gymnasium, both pointing towards the centre of the gym and equidistant from it. The speakers emit sound that is in phase. An observer at the centre of the gym experiences constructive interference.How far must the observer walk to go from one point of constructive interference to the next? ( velocity of sound =)

Which of the following statement is not true for the phenomenon of interference?

Derive the conditions for the resultant intensity after interference of two waves.

An organ pipe open at both ends produces:

The disturbances produced by two sound sources cannot be cancelled as the disturbance by each wave is added.
