Answer» <html><body><p></p>Solution :When two or more waves in a medium overlap., their <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/total-711110" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TOTAL">TOTAL</a> displacement is the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/vector-20923" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about VECTOR">VECTOR</a> sum of individual displacements. <br/> Let us consider two fucntions which <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/characterize-2016103" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CHARACTERIZE">CHARACTERIZE</a> the displacement of the waves, for example, <br/> `y_(1)=a sin (kx- omegat)` <br/> and `y_(2)=A_(2)cos(kx- omegat)` <br/> <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/since-644476" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SINCE">SINCE</a> both `y_(1) and y_(2)` satisfy the wave equation (solutions of wave equation) then their algebraic sum <br/> `y=y_(1)+y_(2)` <br/> also satisfies the wave equation. It is meant that, the displacement are additive.</body></html>
