According to the principle of superposition, when two or more waves overlap in space, due to each individual wave, at any point the displacement is the vector sum of the displacements. The principle of superposition also explains phenomena like interference where waves combine to amplify or cancel out each other. It can happen in both ways - constructively or destructively. In real life, the superposition can be seen in the noise cancellation technologies, sound beats and the colourful patterns created by overlapping water waves. The principle is the fundamental concept for understanding wave behaviour in acoustics, optics and even qua
