Examples of superimposed in the following topics:

  • Superposition

    • When two or more waves arrive at the same point, they superimpose themselves onto one another.
    • More specifically, the disturbances of waves are superimposed when they come together (a phenomenon called superposition).
    • All these waves superimpose.
    • These examples are of waves that are similar. illustrates that when non-identical waves superimpose, the outcome is a mixture of constructive and destructive interference.
  • Conditions for Wave Interference: Reflection due to Phase Change

    • Interference is a phenomenon in which two waves superimpose to form a resultant wave of greater or lesser amplitude.
    • Interference is a phenomenon in which two waves superimpose to form a resultant wave of greater or lesser amplitude.
  • Evaluating the Normal approximation exercises

    • The superimposed normal curve approximates the distribution pretty well.
  • Enantiomers and Stereoisomerism in Organic Compounds

    • If you hold your left hand fixed and rotate your right hand, you will never be able to superimpose one upon the other.
    • This occurs when multiple stereocenters "cancel" one another, resulting in symmetry that makes the "different" molecules superimposable.
  • Superposition and Interference

    • When two or more waves arrive at the same point, they superimpose themselves on one another.
    • More specifically, the disturbances of waves are superimposed when they come together—a phenomenon called superposition.
  • Standing Waves and Resonance

    • A standing wave is one in which two waves superimpose to produce a wave that varies in amplitude but does not propagate.
  • Chirality and Symmetry

    • A chiral object is not identical in all respects (i.e. superimposable) with its mirror image.
    • An achiral object is identical with (superimposable on) its mirror image.
  • Sliding Filament Model of Contraction

    • Surrounding the Z-line is the I-band, the region where actin myofilaments are not superimposed by myosin myofilaments.
    • Within the A-band is a region known as the H-band, which is the region not superimposed by actin myofilaments.
  • Beats

    • When two waves of similar frequency arrive at the same point and superimpose, they alternately constructively and destructively interfere.
  • Interference

    • In physics, interference is a phenomenon in which two waves (passing through the same point) superimpose to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude.
