Differences between Travelling waves and Standing waves
DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN TRAVELLING WAVES & STANDING WAVES

Travelling (or)
Progressive waves
1)
Travelling waves transfer energy from one end to another.
2)
Energy flows across energy plane in the direction of the wave.
3)
These will be advancement in wave direction.
4)
Each particle of the medium executes SHM about its mean position with same
amplitude.
5)
No particles on the wave is Permanently at rest.
6)
Phase changes continuously from point to point.
Standing (or)
Stationary waves
1)
Standing waves do not transfer energy from one end to another.
2)
No energy flows across any plane.
3)
No advancement of the wave in any direction.
4)
Except nodes, all particles vibrates and executes SHM with different amplitude.
5)
Nodes are permanently at rest.
6)
All points between any pair of nodes vibrates in the same phase but the phase
suddently reverses at each nodes.
