Hi,

The principle of superposition states that, when two or more waves of the same type cross at some point, the resultant displacement at that point is equal to the sum of the displacements due to each individual wave.

Hope this Helped.

Hi


principle of superposition in electrostatics states that the force on any charge due to a number of other charges is the vector sum of all the forces on that charge due to other charges, taken one at a time.

If you are asking about principle of superposition of waves then it states that, if two or more waves of the same type cross at some point, the resultant displacement at that point is equal to the sum of the displacements due to each individual wave.



Thank you
