    Why is the energy not conserved when adding waves?

    Hi There is something wrong with this logic. Anyone see the flaw. If we have a wave in y traveling along the z axis y= y_0cos(kz-wt) then the energy it carries is proportional to y_0^2. If we superimpose a second wave with the same amplitude (and so the same energy) and in phase with...
