- Standing waves
- What is a standing wave?
- It is a wave which has oscillations in a fixed space, with regions of significant oscillations and regions with zero oscillation, which remain in the same locations at all times.
- How are standing waves formed?
- Standing waves are formed when two waves are travelling in opposite directions and they superpose. And when they superpose, they set up a standing waves.
- Standing waves consist of nodes and antinodes.
- Antinodes: Regions on a standing wave where the amplitude of oscillation is at its max.
- Nodes: Regions on a standing wave where the amplitude of oscillation is zero.
- These waves need to be of the same speed and frequency, with similar amplitudes and have a constant phase relationship.

- What is meant by coherent waves?
- Coherent waves are waves with the same frequency and a constant phase relationship.
