Stationary Waves vs Progressive Waves | A-level Physics

We compare and contrast stationary (standing) waves with progressive waves. We use PhET's simulation (see below) so that you really get to see the differences and commonalities between these waves. The four aspects that we discuss in comparing these waves are (1) amplitude, (2) frequency, (3) phase difference and (4) energy.

We are grateful to PhET for the simulation used in the video:
