Question

- Give two differences between travelling and standing waves.​

Answer 1

Answer:

(I) Travelling waves transport energy from one area of space to another, whereas standing waves do not transport energy.

(ii) The most striking feature of standing waves is that they only occur for certain frequencies. Travelling waves on the other hand actually move from place to place, transporting energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

Travelling waves move from place to place by transporting energy. → Disturbance does not moves. → The amplitude varies from 0 to maximum. → The standing waves occur for certain frequencies.
