In physics, a standing wave (or stationary wave) is a wave in a medium in which each point on the axis of the wave has an associated constant amplitude.

The locations at which the amplitude is minimum are called nodes, and the locations where the amplitude is maximum are called antinodes.

Standing waves were first discovered by Franz Melde, who coined the term "standing wave" around 1860[
