To my understanding, Light defies current physics, which, actually light created the rule that you cannot know, predict and determine everything in physics.Example, light is a wave and a particle. What? But it is. You see, subatomic light particles are very confusing. You can, theoretically, determine if a coin will be heads or tails by determining the current air flow, the force of the toss, etc. But photons, they are utterly unpredictable. All photons are the same, although, using an example, 95% photons go through a window, but 5% do not. Photons are identical right? Then why did 5% rebound off of the window? Not the electrons from the windows hitting the photons. See? Even the same subatomic particles will have different effects on objects.
But get this, some of those same photons that rebounded from the window still went through. What do scientists call this? Superposition. Get it? Light is so confusing to even astrophysical prodigy's like Steven Hawking. Einstein said in anger "God does not play dice with the universe!" Now, Steven Hawking says " not only does God play dice with the universe, he throws the dice where we cannot see them" So Superposition particles really only superposition because they can. Does it make sense? No. Is it possible? Of course! Scientists have seen both of the same subatomic particles at the same time. They are real, they don't make sense, Period.
some inormation was used: "Quantum Theory Cannot Hurt You: A Guide To The Universe" By Marcus Chown, and the rest by me, a 12-year old science lover.
What else can I help you with?
How does the superposition of two waves with different frequencies and amplitudes affect the resulting wave pattern?
When two waves with different frequencies and amplitudes are superimposed, they combine to create a new wave pattern. The resulting wave will have a complex pattern that is a combination of the individual waves. The amplitudes and frequencies of the original waves will influence the shape and characteristics of the resulting wave pattern.
What is it called when a combined wave has a smaller amplitude than the origanal waves?
Destructive interference occurs when two waves with opposite phases combine to create a wave with a smaller amplitude than the original waves. This occurs when the peaks of one wave align with the troughs of another, leading to cancellation of the wave amplitudes.
What determines the amplitude of the wave produced by interference?
The amplitude of the wave produced by interference is determined by the superposition of the individual wave amplitudes involved in the interference process. If the waves are in phase (constructive interference), the amplitudes add up and result in a larger wave amplitude. If the waves are out of phase (destructive interference), the amplitudes subtract from each other, resulting in a smaller wave amplitude.
Why does a node in a standing wave have zero displacement?
A node in a standing wave has zero displacement because it is a point where two waves traveling in opposite directions interfere destructively, causing the amplitudes of the two waves to cancel each other out. This results in no net movement or displacement at the node.
Where does interference of waves occurs?
Interference of waves occurs when two or more waves meet and overlap in the same medium, leading to the superposition of their amplitudes. This phenomenon can manifest as constructive interference, where wave amplitudes add up to produce a larger amplitude, or destructive interference, where wave amplitudes cancel each other out. Interference is commonly observed in a variety of wave systems, such as sound waves, light waves, and water waves.

Why are use superposition theorem?
Why be use does Superposition. imposissition waves wavees 2 direction opposite interference!

What is it called when waves combine?
When waves combine, it is called interference. Interference can result in either reinforcement (constructive interference) or cancellation (destructive interference) of the waves, depending on their alignment and relative amplitudes.
What does wave superposition mean?
Wave superposition refers to the principle that when two or more waves overlap, their amplitudes are added together at each point in space. This results in a new wave pattern that can either reinforce or cancel out certain parts of the individual waves. It is a key concept in physics and explains phenomena such as interference and diffraction.
What is the behavior of a wave that passes through another wave?
When a wave passes through another wave, their amplitudes add together in a process called superposition. The resulting wave is a combination of the two waves and can be constructive (when amplitudes reinforce each other) or destructive (when amplitudes cancel each other out). This interaction can lead to interference patterns.
How are sound waves made?
sound waves are made by amplitudes
When the amplitudes of waves are equal which frequency waves have the most energy?
When the amplitudes of waves are equal, waves with higher frequencies have more energy. This is because energy is directly proportional to frequency for waves with the same amplitude.
What is the difference between stationary waves and standing waves?
Standing waves are also known as stationary waves. They are waves that remain in a constant position. This phenomenon can occur because the medium is moving in the opposite direction to the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions.
