Answer:
Standing wave
Step-by-step explanation:
A standing wave is a wave that does not propagate - instead, the oscillations due to the wave occur always in the same place. A standing wave is produced, for instance, when a string (tied on both ends) is made oscillating, or when two identical waves travel in opposite directions.
A standing wave is characterized by two particular types of points:
- There are some points where the amplitude of the oscillation of the wave is always maximum - these points are called anti-nodes of the wave
- There are some points where the amplitude of the oscillation of the wave is always zero - these points are called nodes of the wave.
