question 2
which type of wave appears to vibrate in place?
○ tsunami wave
○ traveling wave
○ standing wave
○ breaking wave
A standing wave is formed when two waves of the same frequency and amplitude traveling in opposite directions interfere with each other. This interference results in points (nodes) that do not vibrate and points (antinodes) that vibrate with maximum amplitude. So, it appears to vibrate in place. A tsunami wave is a large ocean wave usually caused by underwater disturbances. A traveling wave moves from one place to another. A breaking wave is a wave that "breaks" (its crest collapses) as it approaches shore.
