What do you mean by stationary or standing wave?

A standing wave is a wave produced by interference between two moving waves of the same frequency (usually an original wave and its reflection) which does not move but continues to oscillate at the original frequency.


Why standing wave are produced?

Standing waves are produced when a wave reflects back on itself due to interference between the incident and reflected waves. This interference causes certain points along the wave to have no displacement (nodes) and others to have maximum displacement (antinodes), creating a stable pattern known as a standing wave. Standing waves are formed in systems with boundaries that reflect the wave, such as a string fixed at both ends or a pipe closed at one end.


What is a kind off wave produced in stretched string?

the wave produced in a stretched string will be a standing wave .it will have a node and antinode.node means point with zero displacement and antinode means point with maximum displacement


If the period of a wave is equal to the amount if time it takes for the wave to travel to a fixed point and back what is produced?

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.


Give an example of a common standing 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.

What can a standing wave tell you about a wave?

A standing wave can tell you about the resonant frequencies of a system. It is formed when a wave reflects back on itself and interferes constructively or destructively. The nodes and antinodes of a standing wave provide information about the wavelength and frequency of the wave.
