Wave Superposition Introduction

The video tutorial explores the concept of wave interference, contrasting it with object collision. Initially, a cart collision is demonstrated using a green screen to illustrate that objects cannot occupy the same space. The focus then shifts to waves, which can occupy the same space and interfere through superposition. Constructive interference results in a larger amplitude, while destructive interference can cancel waves out. The video concludes by emphasizing that waves continue unaffected after interference.

What is the significance of the term 'total destructive interference'?

Why is it difficult to demonstrate total destructive interference in real examples?

How do waves behave after they interfere with one another?
