Answer #1

Hi there!

Firstly, a standing wave is also called a stationary wave, It oscillates in time but peak amplitude profile does not move in space.

The peak amplitude of oscillations at any particular point lying in space correlates with time and oscillations at different places in the wave are in phase.

To sum this all up, standing wave patterns are produced as a result of repeated interference of waves with similar frequencies while moving in the same medium with different (opposite) directions.

All standing waves consists of nodes and antinodes

A simple and effective way to observe standing or stationary waves is through moving our hands throught the surface of a lake..

or can also be understood by dropping a small stone into the pond and consecutively another stone to create waves that interfere with one another!

Hope this helped, Please leave a rating :)

There is an experiment. Amy wants to find out if reading a book that outlines teaching strategies helps one teach better. She will have all of the subjects read a book and then give a lecture to a class. The independent variable is the type of book read. The book is either a teaching guide or a visitor’s guide to Scotland. The dependent variable is how well the class does on a test given right after the lecture. It is...

In this week's lab, suppose I have a good standing wave with three bumps. While keeping the frequency and the length of the string the same, if I pull down the hanging weight, what's likely to happen to the number of bumps? Question 1 options: a. Nothing will happen. b. The wave will disappear immediately, and even if I keep pulling down on it, no more waves will appear. c. The wave will disappear immediately, but if I keep pulling...
