Thank you so so much, this was such a big help for me!!!!

Really liked this video...
Cleared all my doubts Thanku!

[dhiraj]

Please can explain you why standing waves don't transfer energy and traveling wave do?

[radhamadhav]

Thanku ma'am tommorow is class 11th physics exam ...and this covers my topic ✌️

[elizabethelson]

Is there any difference in representing a standing wave and travelling wave in the general equation format, if so pls mention it also..thank you maam for this class 🙏😁

what does it mean when the particles between adjacent nodes are in phase? and don't the particles travel fully down until it reaches their maximum displacements

[angiecheung]

I am slightly confused by the 180 degrees out of phase part surely that would mean the reflected wave would always cancel the incoming wave and so it will always be destructive interference?

[balasbramanithangavel]

Incorrect.
When the maximum displacement interferes with a point with zero displacement, it produces an antibody in the resultant wave.
I say this is incorrect. @1.27
Correct me if I am wrong.
