The following equations represent progressive transverse waves:
$Z_1 = A \cos(\omega t - kx)$,
$Z_2 = A \cos(\omega t + kx)$,
$Z_3 = A \cos(\omega t + ky)$,
$Z_4 = A \cos(2\omega t - 2ky)$.
$A$ stationary wave will be formed by superposing:

  • A
    $Z_1$ and $Z_2$
  • B
    $Z_1$ and $Z_4$
  • C
    $Z_2$ and $Z_3$
  • D
    $Z_3$ and $Z_4$
