In a standing wave, all the space elements (i.e. (x, y, z) coordinates) are oscillating in the same frequency and in phase (reaching the equilibrium point together), but each has a different amplitude.
U stojećem talasu, svi prostorni elementi (i.e. (x, y, z) koordinate) osciluju na istoj frekvenciji i fazi (dostižući ekvilibrijsku tačku zajedno), ali imaju različite amplitude.
