Microwaves are in motion. If that qualifies as "progressive" then they are progressive. The are not stationary as any wave that carries energy wants to move. We can talk about something called "standing waves" in physics, but that's not the same thing. Microwave progress out from the point where they originate.

How is a progressive wave different from a standing wave?

1. Each point along a progressive wave has equal amplitude, but for a stationary wave the amplitude varies. 2. Adjacent points on progressive waves vibrate with different phase but all particles between nodes in stationary waves vibrate in phase 3. Energy is transferred through space in progressive waves but not in the case of stationary waves

When a transverse progressive wave gets superimposed by the reflected wave then stationary transverse waves are produced


What is the symbolic meaning of stationary?

What types of wave produced on the string?

Stationary transverse waves are produced on strings. This is due to the superimposition of the progressive wave and its reflection at the knife edges.
