State and explain the principle of superposition of waves.

A standing wave is maintained in a homogeneous string of corss-sectional area 'S' and density phe . It is formed by the superposition of two waves travelling in opposite directions given by the equation y_(1)=asin(omegat=kx)andy_(2)=2asin(omegat+kx) . The total mechanical energy confined between the sections corresponding to the abjacent antinodes is:

The phenomenon of nonuniform distribution of energy due to the super position of two light waves is

What is superposition of sound waves ?

As you have learnt in the text, the principle of linear superposition of wave displacements is basic to understanding intensity distributions in diffraction and interference patterns. What is the justification of this principle ?

Equations of two progressive waves at a certain point in a medium are given by, y_1 =a_1 sin ( omega t+phi _1) and y_ 1 =a_2 sin (omegat+ phi _2) If amplitude and time period of resultant wave formed by the superposition of these two waves is same as that of both the waves,then phi _ 1-phi _2 is
