Title	Waves: Superposition (Inquiry Based)
Description	The students will use the simulation to learn the goals through an inquiry approach. Learning Goals:Students will be able to: Define harmonic, determine the relationship between the harmonics.Explain the relationship between harmonics and the corresponding wave function.Predict what happens when more than one wave is present. This is the second in of a two part series of Fourier activities. The first one is called Wave Representation.
