How Is This Standing Wave Possible?
When standing waves are allowed at 15, 30, and 45 hertz on a string, then we should not see a standing wave pattern at 22 hertz. Yet, we do in this demonstration. This explains why.

Transverse and Longitudinal Waves _ GCSE Physics
Waves are vibrations that transfer energy from place to place without matter being transferred. Think of a Mexican wave in a football crowd: the wave moves around the stadium, while each spectator stays in their seat only moving up then...
