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
What type of tides has the highest high tides and the lowest low tides called?
The greatest high tides are Spring tides where the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a line. They are also the lowest low tides. The least high tides and low tides are called neap tides when the sun, moon and earth form a right angle
What type of front forms in the first stage of a wave cyclone?
stationary front
What is a long large wave caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun?
tides.
Why is the term tidal wave not an accurate description of a tsunami?
a tsunami is not caused by tides.
Is stationary wave is wave?
A standing wave is also known as a stationary wave. It is a wave that remains in a constant position. This phenomenon can occur because the medium is moving in the opposite direction to the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions.
What is a wave that forms a stationary pattern in which portions of the wave do not move and other portions move with large amplitude?
Stationary wave
How do seismic wave affect the ocean?
Tides
How are transverse stationary waves produced in a stretched string?
When a transverse progressive wave gets superimposed by the reflected wave then stationary transverse waves are produced
Why if a frequency of waves is less than the fundamental frequency no stationary waves are produced?
Having less frequency doesnt mean stationary waves, to generate stationary wave a wave must merge with another wave with equal but opposite values at each and every instant of time.
What is the definition of standing waves?
A standing wave, also known as a stationary wave, is a wave that remains in a constant position.
What is a wave not caused by tides?
elctro-magnetic waves
Is the emission of electromagnetic radiation by an excited atom a wave or particle theory?
wave theory of light
How is a progressive wave different from a standing wave?

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
What kind of wave lookes like it is stationary?
A Standing Wave, the principle of superposition states that : The resultant of two or more superposed harmonic vibrations is simply the sum of the displacements of the individual vibrations. To understand better what is a stationary wave, you should understand how stationary waves are formed. Check out Melde's set up. Melde, set up an apparatus, where one end produced a wave when the oscillator was switched on, the wave then hit the pulley and bounced back. This wave hit the incoming new wave from the oscillator and since they had the same characteristics (same wavelength, speed, frequency) and were in the opposite direction they created a stationary wave.
What is the number of cycles of a wave that passes a stationary point in one second is called its?
Wave Frequency.
What cause standing wave?
A standing wave is also known as a stationary wave. It is a wave that remains in a constant position. This phenomenon can occur because the medium is moving in the opposite direction to the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions.
