which oscillates in time but whose peak amplitude profile does not move in space

In physics, a standing wave, also known as a stationary wave, is a wave which oscillates in time but whose peak amplitude profile does not move in space.

a wave that appears stationary

A standing wave is a wave that appears to be stationary, meaning a wave remains in a constant position.

superposition of two waves with opposite momentum

(standing waves is superposition of two waves with opposite momentum).

A wave that looks like A wave isn’t moving

A wave that looks like A wave isn’t moving is called a standing wave.

as a wave in a medium with every point associated with a constant amplitude

Also, a standing wave is defined as a wave in a medium with every point associated with a constant amplitude.

a wave in a medium

In physics, a Standing Wave – also known as a stationary wave – is a wave in a medium in which each point on the axis of the wave has an associated constant amplitude.

an undulatory motion that stays in one place

A standing wave is an undulatory motion that stays in one place.

a superposition of two distinct waves which creates a wave that changes in amplitude but does not propagate

A standing wave is a superposition of two distinct waves which creates a wave that changes in amplitude but does not propagate.

a special kind of wave that can occur in a resonator

A standing wave is a special kind of wave that can occur in a resonator.

a wave which oscillates in time but

In physics, a standing wave, also known as a stationary wave, is a wave that oscillates in time but whose peak amplitude profile does not move in space.

a wave that has crests and troughs at fixed points

A standing wave is a wave that has crests and troughs at fixed points; the amplitude changes in time, but the locations of crests do not.

a disturbance called a standing wave

In the tank, the internal waves formed when tidal currents pushed cold, heavy bottom water over two seafloor ridges, setting up a disturbance called a standing wave.
