Physics Question on Electromagnetic waves
Energy is not carried by which of the following wave?
A
electromagnetic
B
transverse
C
stationary
D
progressive
Answer
stationary
Explanation
Solution
The stationary or standing wave is a superposition of two waves of equal amplitude and frequency moving in opposite direction to each other and so there is no movement of the particles of the medium. That?s why there is no transfer of energy in the case of standing waves.
