A report on Wave and Standing wave
In physics, a standing wave, also known as a stationary wave, is a wave that oscillates in time but whose peak amplitude profile does not move in space.
- Standing waveWhen the entire waveform moves in one direction, it is said to be a traveling wave; by contrast, a pair of superimposed periodic waves traveling in opposite directions makes a standing wave.

Hydraulic jump
0 linksPhenomenon in the science of hydraulics which is frequently observed in open channel flow such as rivers and spillways.
Phenomenon in the science of hydraulics which is frequently observed in open channel flow such as rivers and spillways.
When this happens, the jump can be accompanied by violent turbulence, eddying, air entrainment, and surface undulations, or waves.
When this occurs, the water slows in a rather abrupt rise (a step or standing wave) on the liquid surface.
Wave equation
0 linksThe (two-way) wave equation is a second-order linear partial differential equation for the description of waves or standing wave fields — as they occur in classical physics — such as mechanical waves (e.g. water waves, sound waves and seismic waves) or electromagnetic waves (including light waves).
Resonance
0 linksApplied periodic force is equal or close to a natural frequency of the system on which it acts.
Applied periodic force is equal or close to a natural frequency of the system on which it acts.
Resonance phenomena occur with all types of vibrations or waves: there is mechanical resonance, acoustic resonance, electromagnetic resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron spin resonance (ESR) and resonance of quantum wave functions.
In many cases these systems have the potential to resonate at certain frequencies, forming standing waves with large-amplitude oscillations at fixed positions.
Seismic wave
0 linksSeismic waves are waves of acoustic energy that travel through the Earth.
Free oscillations of the Earth are standing waves, the result of interference between two surface waves traveling in opposite directions.
