A Level Physics: How is a stationary wave formed? Stationary waves explained

[ashleysheldon]

Great visual... Finally helped to intuitively grasp how it works

Thank you! I needed exactly this to understand what a stationary wave is!!

How would you describe this in the exam?

A progressive wave travels from one node to the other node, and the progressive wave is reflected back, creating a phase difference of pie.
The waves then superpose forming a stationary wave.

Thanks for your video, it totally help me figure out what was the website of this page?

Hey man, quick question, are nodes formed when the two progressive waves are in antiphase? What about when the waves are in phase. Surely, the nodes will still be formed when the waves are in phase right?

Thank you for this! I finally understand
