Statement I : The principle of superpositions states that amplitudes , velocities , and , accelerations of the particles of the medium due to the simultaneous operation of two or more progressive simple harmonic waves are the vector sum of the separate amplitude , velocity and acceleration of those particles under the effect of each such wave acting alone in the medium
Statement II : Amplitudes , velocities and accelerations are linear functions of the displacement of the particle and its time derivates.

A

Statement I is true , Statement II is true , Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.

B

Statement I is true , Statement II is true , Statement II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement I.

C

Statement I is true , Statement II is false.

D

Statement I : is false , Statement II is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Principle of superposition holds true only when the vectors are linear functions of variable and its derivatives.
