Sample Question
Describe the nature of standing (stationary waves).

Standing waves are created by the collision of two waves with different speeds and amplitudes.

Standing waves are formed when a wave passes through a medium without any reflection or interference.

Standing waves have varying wavelengths and directions of propagation.

A standing wave is the product of the propagation of 1 wave against a wall and its reflected wave with the same speed, same wavelength, same amplitude, opposite direction. Because the wave is reflected, the energy that is propagated returns to the same point of origin. Velocity=displacement / time, and since there is no displacement, the wave has no velocity. As well, we say that no energy is propagated
