QUESTION:

Can standing waves be formed of transverse waves, longitudinal waves, or both?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Standing waves, also known as stationary waves, are combinations of two waves with the same amplitude and frequency that are traveling in opposite directions. Interference is what causes the phenomena, which means that when waves are superimposed, their energy either adds up or cancels one other out.
