A standing wave is best described as a wave whose peak amplitude profile
ADoes not move in space
BMoves at light speed
CAlways decays at once
DMoves at the sound speed
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Does not move in space
A stationary wave oscillates in time but its amplitude pattern stays fixed in position.
