What happens when two waves, such as waves on a lake,come from different directions and run into each other?(a) They cancel each other out and disappear.(b) If they are the same size, they cancel each other outand disappear. If one wave is larger than the other, thesmaller one disappears and the larger one shrinks butcontinues.(c) They get larger where they run into each other; thenthey continue in a direction between the direction ofthe two original waves and larger than either originalwave.(d) They may have various patterns where they overlap,but each wave continues with its original pattern awayfrom the region of overlap.(e) Waves cannot run into each other; they always comefrom the same direction and so are parallel

Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).
