Source sentences:
text: In particular, many media are linear, or nearly so, so the calculation of arbitrary wave behavior can be found by adding up responses to individual sinusoidal waves using the superposition principle to find the solution for a general waveform.
text: When a medium is nonlinear, then the response to complex waves cannot be determined from a sine-wave decomposition.
