stationary wave
Can someone tell me why the particles in the same loop of a stationary (or standing) wave vibrate with the same phase?
Back to basic, stationary wave is formed by the superposition of incident and reflected wave. Can I say it is formed by superposition of 2 progressive waves under a specific condition? If it is true, why nodes (zero displacement) remain nodes, whereas antinodes can varies their displacement from maximum to zero.
Thank you for your help.
