2 - Interference

The document discusses the principle of superposition, which states that when two waves meet, their amplitudes combine at any point. This can result in constructive interference, forming a larger wave, or destructive interference, forming a smaller wave. Additionally, it includes links to videos and homework assignments related to the topic.

WhufI
• When two waves meet, the result at any point
is the SUM of the two amplitudes at that
point. This is called the principle of
superposition
• If the two waves combine to form a larger
wave, that is constructive interference
• If the two waves combine to form a smaller
wave, that is destructive interference
