By examining a standing wave you can observe the frequency, wavelength, wave speed, and amplitude of the wave.
A guitar string vibrating at its fundamental frequency (first harmonic) is an example of a common standing wave. The fixed ends of the guitar string create nodes, and the string vibrates in segments with antinodes in between.

If the period of a wave is equal to the time it takes for the wave to travel to a fixed point and back, we can say that a standing wave is produced. This phenomenon occurs when two waves of equal frequency and amplitude but traveling in opposite directions interfere with each other, resulting in a wave pattern that appears stationary.
An isolated remnant of bedrock standing above a wave-cut platform is known as a sea stack. Sea stacks are formed when wave erosion wears away softer rock surrounding a more resistant bedrock, leaving a solitary column of rock standing by itself in the ocean.

When an incoming wave combines with a reflected wave in such a way that the combined wave appears to be standing still the result is a standing still wave.

When an incoming wave combines with a reflected wave in such a way that the combined wave appears to be standing still the result is a standing still wave.
A standing wave requires a relative motion of the medium at the same velocity of the wave
The amplitude of a standing wave is the maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its equilibrium position. It represents the height of the wave at its peak.
The result is a standing wave. Standing waves are created by the interference of two waves of the same frequency traveling in opposite directions and have points along the medium that appear to be vibrating in place.
The amplitude of the standing wave shown is the maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its equilibrium position.
No, a standing wave does not physically move along the medium. It appears to oscillate in place due to the interference of two waves traveling in opposite directions. The nodes and antinodes of the standing wave remain stationary.
The wavelength of a standing wave is determined by the distance between consecutive nodes (points of no displacement) or antinodes (points of maximum displacement) in the wave. Each standing wave pattern has a specific wavelength associated with it.
Antinodes are the points of maximum amplitude on a standing wave.
