Stationary Waves & Progressive Waves :
When two progressive waves of equal amplitude and frequency, travelling in a opposite
directions along a straight line superpose each other. The resultant wave does not a
travelling either direction and is called as stationary or standing wave. At some points the
particles of the medium always remain at the rest. These are called nodes. At some other
points the amplitude of oscillation is maximum. These are called antinodes.
