Difference between standing wave and travelling wave
Answers
Answer:-
★ Difference between travelling and standing waves :-
★ Travelling waves:-
→ The distrubance moves along the direction of waves.
→ Travelling waves transport energy from one area of space to another.
→ The amplitude is same for all the particles.
→ Travelling waves move from place to place by transporting energy.
★ Standing waves:-
→ Disturbance does not moves.
→ Standing waves do not transport energy
→ The amplitude varies from 0 to maximum.
→ The standing waves occur for certain frequencies.
★ What is a travelling wave?
→ Travelling wave also known as progressive wave or transverse wave.
→ It is the wave which travels in same direction without changing it's amplitude. And it's amplitude is called as travelling wave or progressive wave.
→ The particles cross the mean position at different time.
→ It transport energy from one area of space to another.
→ No particles are at rest.
★ What is standing wave?
→ Standing waves are also called as stationary waves.
→ Superposition of 2 identical waves travelling in opposite direction. This phenomenon of formation of waves is called stationary waves or standing waves.
→ All the particles cross the mean position simultaneously.
→ The maximum amplitudes of standing wave keep occurring in the same place.
→ The particles at the node position are always at rest.
