Acoustics
A standing wave is a pattern of oscillation that occurs when two waves of the same frequency and amplitude traveling in opposite directions interfere with each other, resulting in fixed points of no displacement called nodes and points of maximum displacement called antinodes. This phenomenon is crucial for understanding various physical systems, including the behavior of sound waves in different media, as it illustrates how waves can be reinforced or canceled out in specific configurations.
congrats on reading the definition of Standing wave. now let's actually learn it.
