What are the differences between progressive waves and stationary waves?
The differences between progressive waves and stationary waves are as listed below:
| Progressive waves | Stationary waves | 
| The disturbance travels forward. | The disturbances are confined to a particular region.  | 
| The amplitude of vibration of each particle is same. | The amplitude is zero at nodes and goes on increasing to become maximum at antinodes. | 
| Energy is transferred forward along the waves. | No transfer of energy is in the medium. | 
| No particles in the medium are at rest. | Particles...  |
