A standing wave is formed by the superposition of:
A
Two waves of different amplitudes only
B
Two identical waves traveling in opposite directions
C
Two waves of different frequencies
D
A wave and a particle
Correct Answer: Option B — Two identical waves traveling in opposite directions
Explanation:
A standing wave results from the interference of two waves of equal frequency and amplitude traveling in opposite directions along the same ...
A standing wave results from the interference of two waves of equal frequency and amplitude traveling in opposite directions along the same medium, creating fixed points called nodes and antinodes.
