what is a standing wave? what wave behaviors are involed in creating a standing wave and how do they do it? how are standing waves and resonance applied to musical instruments. Thanks so much!

A standing wave is a wave in a tube or something like that that bounces back and forth in a cavity and seems to stand still. An example is an organ pipe that is closed on both ends. Only sound waves of certain frequencies can bounce around in there. There's a lot you could say. Go read wiki. If you have a more specific question, ask.

Standing waves in electronics as u amplifier a signal and travel down a cable u want the impedance at the end to match the cable and amplifier . If the impedance not match some of the signal will reflect back and forth until the energy is depleted. This is a much more serious problem with high freq radio waves.
