Give two difference between progressive wave and stationary wave.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1. In a progressive wave, disturbance travels for work in the medium; while in a stationary wave, the disturbance does not move forward or backward.
2. In a progressive wave, there is no transmission of energy while in a stationary wave, the is not transimission of energy.
