The modes of vibration associated with resonance in extended objects like strings and air columns have characteristic patterns called standing waves.

∙ 15y agoA standing wave means a vibration which does not move but causes a continuous oscillation in some medium, usually by reflection at the ends. For example the vibration in a violin string. It is excited by the bow, but because the string is held at each end a standing wave is set up. Another case is the vibration of the air in an organ pipe.

∙ 13y agoStanding waves are also known as stationary waves. They are waves that remain 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.

∙ 7y agoIt means that each point of the wave has a constant amplitude - but the amplitude is not the same for all points. Certain points where the wave passes - the nodes - have ZERO amplitude.This usually happens when the wave interferes with itself, for example, when the wave is reflected and goes back and forth.
Same as standing and traveling people: standing waves don't move, traveling waves do.

A standing or stationary wave are two waves that are moving in opposite directions. The two waves must have the same frequency and amplitude. Standing waves don't travel anywhere and have finite boundaries.
No, they can be caused by standing waves, but they move

Standing waves present on an open transmission line?
A surf is formed when the waves get to high and cause waves to "break."

Nodes are locations where waves are canceled by interference.
