About this video
This video introduces the superposition of waves for A Level Physics.
One wave that interferes with another wave will be superimposed on that wave. Wave superposition is simply the sum of two waves at any point and is used in data transfer and frequency modulation.
If two waves combine in phase then constructive interference will occur but if they're 180 degrees out of phase (anti-phase) then destructive interference will occur.
