Principle of superposition can be applied to

Q. The principle of superposition of waves can not be used to explain wave phenomena like

Q. Two waves generated from incoherent sources, are propagating on a stretched string.

Statement $1$: The resultant wave can be obtained by using the principle of superposition of waves.
Statement $2$: Principle of superposition of waves is not applicable on the wave obtained from incoherent sources.

Q. Directions: The following items consists of two statements; one labelled as 'Assertion (A)' and the other as 'Reason (R)'. You are to examine these two statements carefully and select the answers to these items using the codes given below:


Assertion (A): The principle of superposition for deflection of beams subjected to a number of loads can be applied in the case of large deformations.

Reason (R): In the principle of superposition, the resultant deflection due to all the loads will be the algebraic sum of the deflections due to each load acting separately.

Q. State the principle of superposition.
