Question

What are standing waves? explain formation of standing waves by principle of superposition?

Answer 1

standing wave pattern is a vibrational pattern created within a medium when the vibrational frequency of the source causes reflected waves from one end of the medium to interfere with incident waves from the source. This interference occurs in such a manner that specific points along the medium appear to be standing still. Because the observed wave pattern is characterized by points that appear to be standing still, the pattern is often called a standing wave 

Answer 2

Answer:

Stationary wave and standing wave are just two names of the same thing.

They are both exactly same.
