Question

STOP TO THINK 17.1 Two pulses on a string approach each other at speeds of 1 m/s. What is the shape of the string at t = 6 s?

Answer 1

'The principle of superposition states that when two disturbance occupy the same space at the same time the resulting disturbance is the sum of two disturbances.'

Explanation:

if two pulses are moving towards each other in the same medium and are not disturb by any external force they will approach each other and the point which will be the the sum of their individual displacement or more precisely the point of superposition of both pulses either constructive or destructive depending on the conditions given
