Question

Write basic conditions for formation of stationary waves.

✓

Answer

The basic conditions for formation of stationary waves are listed below:

The direct and reflected waves must be travelling along the same line.
For stationary wave formation, the superposing waves should either be longitudinal or transverse. A longitudinal and a transverse wave cannot superposition.
For formation of stationary waves, there should not be any relative motion between the medium and oppositely travelling waves.
Amplitude and period of the superposing waves should be same.
