Thelower represents two curves of sines of which one wave lengthis twice the other, and their composition is also… … Fig. 8. Figures 9, 10, n shew compositions arising from forks of 1 :2,1:3, 1:4 very nearly. One is exactly in the ratio 1 :4. Thecurious chainlike appearance presented by them is caused bythe slight difference of phase. Figure 12 shews the composition of two vibrations nearlyrectangular. Figure 13…
