Hi all,actually i want to discuss about standing wave. Its little bit confusing to me.As a simple defintion,when two waves of equal amplitude travel in opposite direction then what the resultant wave,for which there is no propagation of energy is called standing waves.
But another property says that amplitude at each point in space stays constant and more the amplitude,more intense is the wave.Now question arises,If we are getting zero amplitude by superposition of 2 waves of equal amplitude,then what type of amplitude that is being discussed here. and we are saying that that all points have zero amplitude then how could we relate the intensity to amplitude.
Please reply,hope you have understand the question.
thanks
