👉 In physics and mathematics, a superposition of waves is a mathematical operation that adds together a collection of waves to form a new wave. This process can be applied to any two or more waves that are traveling in different directions at different frequencies. For example, consider two waves moving through the same medium at different frequencies but with opposite directions of motion. When these waves combine, they create a superposition of waves, which is represented by the equation: v1 + v2 = sum_of_waves
