1
New cards

  • describe the energy transfers by a stationary wave

  • no net energy transfer

  • → progressive waves travel in opposite directions

2
New cards

  • describe the differences in amplitude between a progressive and stationary wave

  • progressive wave

    • constant amplitude

  • stationary wave

    • fluctuating amplitude

      • zero amplitude at nodes

      • maximum amplitude at antinodes

3
New cards

  • describe the phase differences for stationary waves

  • if two points are separated by zero or an even number of nodes

    • they reach their maximum and minimum displacements at the same time → they are in phase

  • if two points are separated by an odd number of nodes

    • one reaches its maximum displacement as the other reaches its minimum displacement → they are in antiphase
