A standing wave is a type of phenomena. It is the result of two or more waves of the same frequency traveling in different directions in the same medium (in this case, a string). Standing waves are created when interference occurs. A standing wave on a string is created
when a wave is generated on a string with a
end. The length of the string must be multiples of of the
This means that the conditions have been met. For a standing wave on a string, a
is always located at both ends of the string. The amplitude of the
standing wave is
of the distance from the bottom to the top of the Antinodes are created due to total
interference and nodes are created due to total
interference.
