Type: MCQ-fact-Easy-Class 11
What does the principle of superposition state regarding the displacement of waves in the same medium?
A
The displacement is the algebraic sum of the displacements due to each wave.
B
The displacement is the average of the displacements of all waves.
C
The displacement is determined solely by the wave with the highest amplitude.
D
The displacement is the product of the amplitudes of the waves.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The principle of superposition states that when two or more waves traverse simultaneously in the same medium, the displacement of any element of the medium is the algebraic sum of the displacements due to each wave.
