  • 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).

    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")??

    • @Pavsta1992
      @Pavsta1992 8 років тому +2

      +Cardifyz you could rearrange to write it as L= so it's L=3/2 Lambda , because L contains 1.5 wavelengths

    • @elliotskunk
      @elliotskunk 5 років тому +3

      1.5 wavelengths in one length
      therefore λ = L/ 1.5
      therefore λ = L / (3/2)
      therefore λ = 2L / 3 remember leave, change, flip

    if the stationary wave doesnt transfer energy then why can you hear sound from a guitar?

    • @baruchdavis9634
      @baruchdavis9634 6 років тому

      If I've understood correctly, at nodes the energy that would be transmitted by a progressive wave is cancelled out by the fact that in a standing wave, destructive interference occurs where the energy transferred is cancelled out and so noise from sound waves is cancelled out. However, at any other point in the wave, constructive interference between the transmitted wave and the reflected wave (which forms the standing wave), occurs, and so the amplitude is actually doubled at these points so at those place in the wave the sound produced is actually louder and it's at these points where you actually hear the sound, loudest, at the antinodes.

    • @elliotskunk
      @elliotskunk 5 років тому +1

      misunderstoof it g. It holds most of its energy because it is being held at two points, so the wave is not progressing anywhere. But, the particles in the wave are vibrating. This trasnfers vibrations to the air, causing sound
