Standing and Stationary Waves on a String - A Level Physics

This video explains standing and stationary waves on a string for A Level Physics.

Waves transfer energy, right? Well progressive waves do. But standing waves and stationary waves don't go anywhere and they store energy. Waves that reflect off a fixed position superimpose with itself, producing a standing or stationary wave (wave superposition).

Thanks for watching,

Mate you might just have saved my Physics A-Level

[usmanalamgir]

Your way of explanation is sooo awesome
Seriously
specially in less time, you cover a lot of stuffs
Thanks :)

[atrihegde]

The stop motion on this one is gracefully done!

[Kiyotaka_Narumi]

Man, I cannot thank you enough, you are saving me. Thank you, from the core of my heart! Aghhhh I just cannot formulate a good enough sentence that can truly express my gratitude!

[charlieroberts]

At 2:31, did you mean to say 'node' instead of 'antinode, ' as shouldn't the sentence be "The distance from a node to another node is equal to the wavelength of that wave, over 2" (not "The distance from a node to another antinode is equal to the wavelength of that wave, over 2")??

[discospaghetti]

Thanks so much! I was struggling with this topic.

[douglath]

This is just what I need !! THANK YOU :D

[robinhindsman]

Thank you for this video. You taught me something new :)

[ismailzaman]

You sir are a live saver. Can't thank you enough.

[niveditasharma]

Very very very nice... Thanks you saved me a lot of time!!

[lovelybeing]

You are a life saver ... Thank you so much ... I'm able to understand much better

[aiknaathjain]

Did you mean the distance between 2 nodes is lambda over 2?

[ssaammii]

Fell asleep during this part of lesson, worth it

[markkennedy]

Can you explain where the extra length of string comes from when the standing wave is at its highest amplitude vs when it is a straight line.

[reload]

Why do the original wave and the reflected wave not destructively interfere

[tamaraosbourne]

What is the pattern between the different harmonic patterns?

[mariehill]

Does that mean when a stationary wave is created, at the nodes is there deconstructive interference and at antinodes there is constructive interference?

[joehindley]

could you go through similarities and differences of progressive and stationary waves? It is on the spec, but I can't find any information on it online.

[HasanR]

Hi, at 0:56 you say the two progressive waves will have the same phase difference? It was my understanding that the two waves should be in antiphase in order for stationary waves to occur?

[DXPAlien]

Sir those explanations are really good
