What are the differences between standing waves and progressive waves?
Energy is not transferred in a standing waves whereas in progressive waves energy is transferred in the direction the wave is travelling in.In standing waves, nodes and antinodes exist which are the points of displacement and 0 displacement respectively. Nodes are therefore points of maximum displacement and antinodes are points of 0 displacement. In progressive waves however, all points have the same amplitude.
