Stationary waves

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When two identical progressive waves i.e., waves having the same amplitude , wavelenght and speed , propagate in opposite directions through the same region of a medium, their superposition under certain conditions creates a stationary interference pattern called a stationary waves.
