Object:
To study the super position of waves with two Lissajous figures

Superposition of Waves:
1) If two or more waves propagate in a medium simultaneously, then the resultant displacement of the particle of the medium is given by the vector sum of displacements produced by the individual wave. 2) If the displacement produced by different waves are respectively Then the resultant displacement of particle is given by,

3) Resultant displacement depends on a) Amplitude b) Phase difference c) Frequencies d) Direction of propagation of waves 4) Different phenomena occurring as a result of superposition of waves are a) Interference b) Beats c) Stationary waves d) Lissajous figures.

Lissajous Figures :
Lissajous (pronounced LEE-suh-zhoo) figures were discovered by the French physicist Jules Antoine Lissajous. He would use sounds of different frequencies to vibrate a mirror. A beam of light reflected from the mirror would trace patterns which depended on the frequencies of the sounds. Lissajous' setup was similar to the apparatus which is used today to project laser light shows. Before the days of digital frequency meters and phase-locked loops, Lissajous figures were used to determine the frequencies of sounds or radio signals. A signal of known frequency was applied to the horizontal axis of an oscilloscope, and the signal to be measured was applied to the vertical axis. The resulting pattern was a function of the ratio of the two frequencies. Lissajous figures often appeared as props in science fiction movies made during the 1950's. One of the best examples can be found in the opening sequence of The Outer LimitsTV series. ("Do not attempt to adjust your picture--we are controlling the transmission.") The pattern of criss-cross lines is actually a Lissajous figure. The Lissajous Lab provides you with a virtual oscilloscope which you can use to generate these patterns. (You will control the horizontal. You will control the vertical.) The applet also allows you to apply a signal to modulate the hue of the trace, so you can create colorful designs.

Apparatus:
Oscilloscope:
A device for viewing oscillations, as of electrical voltage or current, by a display on the screen of a cathode-ray tube.

Audio Frequency Generators:


Used for testing amplifiers and other sound equipment, the audio frequency generator is an essential diagnostic tool. It produces pure electronic waves at stable frequencies ranging from below the lowest detectable tone to above the highest audible pitch

Wires:
A wire is a single, usually cylindrical, flexible strand or rod of metal l

Woking Formula:
