Wave Superposition

The wave superposition principle is a principle that basically talks about the interference of two waves when the collide. The wave superposition principle says that when two waves interfere they just travel through each other and their speed and size are unaltered. If a wave is 3ft going through a 5ft wave at 20 m/s it will continue to move unaltered at 3ft at 20 m/s. The 5ft wave will also travel unaltered. At the point when they are interfering, they can have destructive interference or constructive interference but no matter what, they continue through unaltered.
