Not what it looks like to me. What is the distance between C and B? I count 13 squares. How many wavelengths is that?jerad908 said:
A standing wave is a type of wave that appears to be stationary and does not appear to move through a medium. It is created when two waves with the same amplitude and frequency travel in opposite directions and interfere with each other.
To graph a standing wave, you will need to plot the amplitude of the wave on the y-axis and the position on the x-axis. The graph will consist of peaks and valleys, with the peaks representing the points of maximum displacement and the valleys representing the points of minimum displacement.
The equation for a standing wave is y = A sin(kx) cos(ωt), where A is the amplitude, k is the wave number, x is the position, ω is the angular frequency, and t is the time.
The wave number (k) can be determined by dividing 2π by the wavelength (λ). The angular frequency (ω) can be calculated by multiplying the frequency (f) by 2π.
A standing wave appears to be stationary and does not move through a medium, while a traveling wave moves through a medium. Additionally, a standing wave is created by the interference of two waves traveling in opposite directions, whereas a traveling wave is created by a single disturbance traveling through a medium.
