According to the superposition principle, the net displacement is simply given by the vector or the algebraic sum of the individual displacements.
The superposition of the waves is depicted in Figure 14.1.2. Figure 14.1.2 Superposition of two sinusoidal waves. We see that the wave has a maximum amplitude when sin(x+φ)=1, or x =−π/2 φ. The interference there is constructive. On the other hand, destructive interference occurs at x =−π φ=2.61 rad, wheresin(π) =0. 14-3
