Standing and Stationary Waves on a String - A Level Physics
This video explains standing and stationary waves on a string for A Level Physics.
Waves transfer energy, right? Well progressive waves do. But standing waves and stationary waves don't go anywhere and they store energy. Waves that reflect off a fixed position superimpose with itself, producing a standing or stationary wave (wave superposition).
Thanks for watching,
Lewis

We really appreciate your existence in this world and all your unconditional efforts to make Physics enjoyable and understandable for students around the world! God bless you
The stop motion on this one is gracefully done!
At 2:31, did you mean to say 'node' instead of 'antinode,' as shouldn't the sentence be "The distance from a node to another node is equal to the wavelength of that wave, over 2" (not "The distance from a node to another antinode is equal to the wavelength of that wave, over 2")??

Around 4:00, i don't understand the f. Can explain? Why first is f1, then f2 then f3.....?
You sir are a live saver. Can't thank you enough.
Thanks so much! I was struggling with this topic.
Man, I cannot thank you enough, you are saving me. Thank you, from the core of my heart! Aghhhh I just cannot formulate a good enough sentence that can truly express my gratitude!
This is just what I need !! THANK YOU :D
You are a life saver ... Thank you so much ... I'm able to understand much better
Thank you for this video. You taught me something new :)
Thanks for the help - I needed it
Very very very nice... Thanks you saved me a lot of time!!
Thank you! That was really helpful :)
Thank you so much this helped a lot!
Mate you are amazing! Respect++🥇
Great video, really useful!
could you go through similarities and differences of progressive and stationary waves? It is on the spec, but I can't find any information on it online.
Sir those explanations are really good
Nice animation!
Videos are really really good.
Fell asleep during this part of lesson, worth it
Thank you very much
Thanks again and again
Brilliant Videos
Can you explain where the extra length of string comes from when the standing wave is at its highest amplitude vs when it is a straight line.
where do you pluck the string to form stationary waves?
What is the pattern between the different harmonic patterns?
Thank you
Hi, at 0:56 you say the two progressive waves will have the same phase difference? It was my understanding that the two waves should be in antiphase in order for stationary waves to occur?
Hi :) Great video. Quick question: isn't wavelength supposed to be the distance between 2 consecutive nodes/antinodes? why is it lambda over 2 for the fundamental frequency
@SidharthShambu

Distance between 2 consecutive nodes or antinodes is HALF OF WAVE LENGTH
Splendid
1:41 can this ever form from EM waves like light waves
awesoooooommmmmeeeeee
what are the characteristics of stationary waves ???
Did you mean the distance between 2 nodes is lambda over 2?

Aiknaath Jain You're right. A common mistake is that people think the distance from node to node is the wavelength when it is half the wavelength.

really useful video thanks. Just wondering what is the difference between a stationary wave and a progressive wave in terms of phase difference?

+Naomi Snow Phase difference can apply to both, do you have an example question where this comes up?
Does that mean when a stationary wave is created, at the nodes is there deconstructive interference and at antinodes there is constructive interference?

At 4:06 you have written 3rd Harmonic as Lambda= 2/3 L. Shouldn't it be Lambda= 3/2 L for 3rd Harmonic?
@poopyakuza8891

1/3 L =lambda/2 so from that we can say lambda = 2/3 L
Shouldn't the 3rd harmonic be 3/2 Lambda

+Cardifyz you could rearrange to write it as L= so it's L=3/2 Lambda , because L contains 1.5 wavelengths
@elliotskunk

1.5 wavelengths in one length therefore λ = L/ 1.5 therefore λ = L / (3/2) therefore λ = 2L / 3 remember leave, change, flip
what is the difference between a maxima and an anti-node?
@amadif1793
Жыл бұрын
Maxima is the maximum point on a diffraction pattern (on young's double slit) while an anti-node is the point of maximum displacement on a stationary wave.
shouldnt the reflected wave cause interference and cancel out the produced wave???
@elliotskunk
5 жыл бұрын
its in phase, so the interference is constructive
What does the period of a standing wave exactly mean?
if the stationary wave doesnt transfer energy then why can you hear sound from a guitar?
@baruchdavis9634
5 жыл бұрын
If I've understood correctly, at nodes the energy that would be transmitted by a progressive wave is cancelled out by the fact that in a standing wave, destructive interference occurs where the energy transferred is cancelled out and so noise from sound waves is cancelled out. However, at any other point in the wave, constructive interference between the transmitted wave and the reflected wave (which forms the standing wave), occurs, and so the amplitude is actually doubled at these points so at those place in the wave the sound produced is actually louder and it's at these points where you actually hear the sound, loudest, at the antinodes.

misunderstoof it g. It holds most of its energy because it is being held at two points, so the wave is not progressing anywhere. But, the particles in the wave are vibrating. This trasnfers vibrations to the air, causing sound
