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
Permalink
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 medium, creating fixed points called nodes and antinodes.
