State four characteristics of stationary waves.
Characteristics :
i) It is superposition of two progressive waves moving in opposite direction in a medium.
ii) There is no transfer of energy in a medium.
iii) Nodes and antinodes are formed successively.
iv) Nodes are the points on the wave whose displacement is zero.
v) Antinodes are the points on the wave whose displacement is maximum.
vi) The distance between two successive nodes or antinodes is λ/2.
vii)The distance between two successive nodes and antinodes is λ/4.
