Question

The principle of superposition in wave motion tells that in a motion in which two or more waves are simultaneously producing their displacements in a particle then the resultant (A) amplitude is the sum of the individual amplitudes (B) velocity is the sum of the individual velocities (C) displacement is the vector sum of the individual displacements (D) phase is the sum of the individual phases

According to Principle of superposition, the resultant displacement at a point due to two or more waves passing through a medium is equal to the vector sum of the individual displacements occuring at that point.
