If two wave of the same frequency differ in amplitude and are propagated in opposite directions through a medium , will they produce standing waves ? Is energy transported ? Are there any nodes ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes , they produce standing waves of the form shown here . Energy is transported . No , there are no nodes , instead , there are positions of minimum amplitude.
