1
New cards

  • stationary wave


  • a wave produced by two progressive waves

    • superposed

    • travelling in opposite directions

    • with the same frequency, wavelength, and amplitude

    • producing nodes and antinodes


2
New cards

  • node

  • antinode


  • a point of zero displacement on a stationary wave

  • a point of maximum displacement on a stationary wave


3
New cards

  • the wavelength of a stationary wave


  • the distance between adjacent nodes/antinodes = ½λ of the progressive waves = ½λ of the stationary wave


4
New cards

  • n/a
