Description

The solution to the wave equation

$\displaystyle\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial t^2}= c ^2\displaystyle\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2}$



is of the form

$ z = z_0 e^{ i( k s - \omega t )}$



but it must satisfy the conditions of free or fixed edge. In the edge case

- free wave can move but has no support so the stress and thus the deformation must be zero.
- fixed the wave cannot move but it can generate tension and with it deformation

Graphically, we have

Standing waves

Description

The equation

$$



It means that there are two solutions.

$\omega = \pm c k$



so the solution is of the form

$x_0 e^{ikx}(e^{i\omega t)}+e^{-i\omega t})$



or with Euler's relation the real part is

$2x_0 \cos(kx)\cos(\omega t)$



In other words, a function of the position oscillates in the same place without moving:



This is called a standing wave.
