Standing waves can be produced when two identical waves, having a phase difference of π, are travelling in the same direction. True or False?(a) True(b) FalseI have been asked this question in quiz.This interesting question is from Reflection of Waves in section Waves of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Correct answer is (b) False

Explanation: The equation of standing waves is given by; y = Asin(kx)COS(WT).

This is FORMED by adding two waves of the form asin(kx-wt) & bsin(kx+wt)

which shows that they both must be travelling in opposite directions.
