Can you state the conditions that are necessary for the formation of a stationary wave? Post replies

When two progressive waves of the same frequency and wavelength travel in opposite directions a stationary wave is created.

Destructive and constructive interference causes nodes and anti nodes. Destructive-nodes, Constructive-anti nodes.

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a vibrating particle.

Stationary Waves and amplitude

Amplitude is the maximum displacement from equilibrium position.
Original question asked for the conditions for the formation of a stationary wave which are:
2 progressive waves travelling in opposite directions with the same frequency and amplitude. Interference occurs producing a stationary wave
