Stationary Waves EnergyHardQuestion 31232

Question

In a stationary wave, energy:
  1. A
    Flows from node to antinode
  2. B
    Flows from antinode to node
  3. C
    Does not propagate — oscillates locally
    Correct
  4. D
    Is zero everywhere

Correct answer

Does not propagate — oscillates locally

Explanation

Standing waves do not transfer energy. Energy oscillates between KE and PE locally at each point, with no net energy transport.
