State the principle of superposition and explain it.

Two generators $S_1$ and $S_2$ produce water waves of equal frequency. $A$ point $P$ is located such that $(S_1P - S_2P)$ is equal to half a wavelength. When operated alone,$S_1$ produces an oscillation of amplitude $2a$ at $P$,while $S_2$ produces an oscillation of amplitude $a$. If the generators are operated in phase,which graph correctly shows the resultant oscillation at $P$?

Two waves $Y_1 = A_1 \sin(\omega t - \beta_1)$ and $Y_2 = A_2 \sin(\omega t - \beta_2)$ superimpose to form a resultant wave whose amplitude is

Two waves have equations $x_1 = a \sin(\omega t + \phi_1)$ and $x_2 = a \sin(\omega t + \phi_2)$. If the frequency and amplitude of the resultant wave remain equal to those of the superimposing waves,then the phase difference between them is:

Two simple harmonic waves having equal amplitudes of $8\,cm$ and equal frequency of $10\,Hz$ are moving along the same direction. The resultant amplitude is also $8\,cm$. The phase difference between the individual waves is $..................$ degree.
