2. Transverse Standing Waves

3. Transverse Standing Waves
A standing wave is an interference effect that can occur when two waves overlap.

4. Transverse Standing Waves
A standing wave is an interference effect that can occur when two waves overlap.
Standing waves can arise with transverse waves, such as those on a guitar string, and also with longitudinal sound waves, such as those in a flute.

5. Transverse Standing Waves
A standing wave is an interference effect that can occur when two waves overlap.
Standing waves can arise with transverse waves, such as those on a guitar string, and also with longitudinal sound waves, such as those in a flute.
In any case, the principle of linear superposition provides an explanation of the effect, just as it does for diffraction and beats.

8. The Speed of a Wave on a String
F = Tension in the string.
W = linear mass or mass per length = m/L.
