How much energy is carried by a standing wave?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A standing wave is the result of two waves of the same frequency and amplitude traveling in opposite directions. Thus, there is no energy that is transmitted by a standing wave.

When light travels from a rarer to denser medium, it loses some speed. Does the reduction in speed imply a reduction in the energy carried by the light wave ?

A: When light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, it loses some speed but it doesn't imply a reduction in the energy carried by the light wave. R: Energy carried by a wave depends on the amplitude of the wave and not on the speed of wave propagation.
